Why else would any defender foul a screener except to stop the clock?

Why does a player foul the screener with 10 minutes left in a 10 point game? To get to the player they're supposed to be guarding. It is no more intentional in the last minute than in than 10 minutes earlier.
If that screen is being set to free up a player to possibly receive the ball, it is part of the play.

The problem is not that we're interpreting it differently but in diametrically opposite meanings based on a poorly constructed sentence.
The POE is the counter to the Shaq-Attack....fouling the worst FT shooter on the floor no matter where they are....even when the throwin team is clearly trying to isolate them away from the play.
I agree that it
could be read the way you suggest but that interpretation is simply illogical and inconsistent with all other publications on endgame intentional foul calling.
