Now the screener leans, or steps in, or even reaches across to try and stop the defender. The foul is very easy to call.

This is a great point. Many illegal screens are the fault of the ballhandler, who does not use the screen properly. The ballhandler allows the defender to stay with him/her by leaving too much space around the screen. So to do his/her "job", the screener is forced to do something illegal in order to get the defender off of the ballhandler.
