It does not matter what kind of foul you call on an illegal screen. What is important is saying loud and clear, "ILLEGAL SCREEN," then go report whatever you want.

No such animal . . .

I think you're always better off saying what the foul was - block, hold, charge, etc. Then, if people are still confused, add in a little flair and explain exactly what they did.
I disagree completely.

The block, hold, or push was caused by what? Not setting a LEGAL SCREEN.

This is not like saying reach or over the back, this is clearly saying what occured outside of the rules. It communicates to my partner, the players, the coaches, and the fans EXACTLY what has happened.

There is no confusion, so there is no reason to add a little flair, it is a confident and precise call.
