Add the "upscreen" in which the screener moves up and away from the basket in an attempt to screen for a cutter who will then make a basket cut looking for the lay-up. For example, A4 on the block could screen up for A5 at the high post (elbow) allowing A5 to cut into the paint looking for a feed and lay-up.
And the "backscreen", in plays that use the UCLA cut. For example, in a 1-4 high set (all four along the FT line extended), A1 (the point) will pass to the wing A3 as A2 sets a backscreen that A1 can rub off and basket cut for a feed leading to a lay-up.

I've heard and used all the terms in this thread except "upscreen". I'd interpret it, especially after reading your definitions, as a synonym of "backscreen". What is the difference between the two?
