One of the causes of illegal screens is the way the play is run. I RARELY see a screen (pick) set where the player being screened for gets close enough to the screener to prevent the B player from getting through the screen. When I coached, I'd tell my players to "take some skin." In other words bump the shoulder of the person setting the screen for you so the defender can't get through. When that person doesn't get close to the screener, the screener tries to adjust by moving laterally, either the hips, legs or even the arms as mentioned above. In many cases, the coaches haven't taught a proper screen. It's one of those fundamental details that is overlooked.
