Read the definition of screening -- it requires the player being screend to stop (or attempt to stop) on contact.
And, that usually wouldn't apply on the type of screen being discussed.
Frankly, I'm surprised the play still works. I'd think that coaches would tell the player guarding the inbounder to be ready for it.
