Yes, it is an illegal screen. Unlike the other play where an argument can be made for not calling it since it was away from the play, this one should be called. The screener never got into a position for a legal screen and was no where near giving proper time/distance. It freed up the dribbler, thus the advantage was realized.
The C missed the call because he didn't pick up the screener in time. He was focused off ball too long with the play coming into his lap.
That said, there is no reason the T shouldn't be able to make that call.
Maybe both were expecting the other to make that call.
