I know 4-40-7 says to rule incidential provided screenee stops or attempts to stop. This seemed to me to a kid taking a shot. A definite non-basketball play.
So has anyone else ever called a foul on the screenee for running into the screener ?

Good call. See case book play 10.6.11SitB(b). That's exactly the way that the FED wants it called.
If he saw the screener and still laid into him like that, I'd tend to agree with Nevada. Sounds like the play warrants the additional penalty of an intentional foul. If the screener was injured, I'd even contemplate flagrant.
