I'm thinking no call on my part, and the guy/screener will likely staighten up for the rest of the game.

We don't allow that kind of stance in the post play; why should we allow it here?

Again, no foul until there is contact... then likely, "Illegal Screen."
Incidental contact can work for me, DownTownTonyBrown, but not the automatic foul on the over-bender.
Then, if we must explain the principles of screening, we certainly may.
