It is inappropriate to apply screening rules to a player with the ball. People getting screened are concentrating on staying with a player, when a third player comes into play. They did not choose the path they follow, it is primarily determined by the player who is cutting. Defenders need to be given an adeqate chance to avoid the screener. Dribblers are expected, by rule as well as by their coaches, to see the area they are penetrating very clearly and to note when obstacles are coming into their path. If they are unaware of a defender who will soon be directly in their path, it is their fault alone.

Coach,
They can apply, but will they be called?
The dribbler (link below) saw and cut the defender, causing intentional contact, but got called for traveling. So in this case,
in my opinion 
, the screening rules perfectly applied, though not enforced.
