Away simply means away from the ball when the ball is on one side of the court. Screening down is screening toward the baseline, which is effectively screening away from the ball when it is high. We screen down to get our entries into our offense, and immediately screen away. If the offense breaks down, our rules are always screen down when it is high, screen away from the wing if you aren't open.
You will usually hear coaches yelling for these things when their offense has broken down, and nobody appears to know what to do next.
