First of all, I don't know if the NBA rules are different than NFHS rules on screening.
Second of all, commentators are often incredulous on correct calls because most commentators have never opened a rule book and have no training in officiating.
I have seen that play "no called" in the NBA before. However, it did not appear as if the defender made any attempt avoid contact (he can thank his teammates lack of communication for that) and that may have been the official's basis for calling that foul on the defense.
