My general philosophy

Call the obvious violations of the rules, not just the bad screens attempts.

As a general philosophy I like to have the player being screened earn the call. If they just kind of give up on the position, then I tend to not call it. If the screener comes out and really hits them or they are really knocked off stride, I try my best to call those all day. But I will not call a foul if the kid just saw a screener and stopped running or did not continue in the same direction. I understand the rule talks about what to do when there is contact, but the rule still refers to incidental contact and not calling something just because there is contact.

Peace
