Not sure what they might or might not be doing. Yes, screens can be illegal but again, it's usually a blocking foul.
No, you can't just run into an opponent and get a foul called. You stated that your player was setting a screen. Evidently, the official determined that the screen was not legally set. Don't get hung up on whether the dribbler used the screener not.
