That was my original thought. But as I read the defintion of screen (4-39), the corresponding rule for fouls (10-6-3) and the rule for closely guarded (9-10-1b), I could not find a sepcific rules reference to back up what I thought was correct. It sure seems wrong. But I could not find a rule that forbids it.
