Coach,
If you have an S&I Rulebook, look at page 68 that shows a description of a screen set from outside the field of vision and it shows a player setting a screen from behind. It references Rule 4-40-4 and talks about allowing a step.
The play you described and I see often is not a blind or screen set outside the vision according to interpretation. And if it was a blind screen those screens often give way more than a step or to which all a blind screen's restriction is to give the player a step. If they take several steps and run into a player, then the screener was legal. Now if they contact was severe enough and official can judge a foul took place, but screens expect some contact and a lot of contact.
Peace
