Juulie, just use "guarding" for defensive players and "screening" for offensive players. Nice and simple that way. Doing either illegally just ends up as "blocking" fouls anyway for both of them, with the proviso that if an offensive player with the ball commits an illegal screen, it is also a PC for blocking. Don't overthink these types of plays. There's absolutely no need for a semantics exercise to try and use them any other way. Waste of time.
