For me, illegal screen is either a block or a hold signal but verbal is always "illegal screen".
I will say what they did and conclude with, "on the screen....."

Again it really does not matter in the end as long as the call is correct and the information is given. I just think I want to tell everyone there was an illegal screen and not just some other type of action. Saying "block" alone IMO is not clear enough to many. Not saying that all will be confused, but all it takes is the right time. That is why I say "Illegal screen" when describing the actions. But like the profession I am in on a daily basis, people do what works for them all the time and you are often not wrong if it works for you.

Peace
