What made this illegal was the screener rolling into the defender, not away from the screened player like they do in college and the NBA.

I think this was a good call because the screener stepped into the path of a moving defender without allowing time and distance. However, I would not refer to this play as a pick and roll. As a former player and coach, as you may be as well, a pick and roll is an offensive play where the screener rolls out of his stance continually moving toward the basket with the intention of receiving a pass for a potential score. The screener in your situation did not do that. You correctly called an illegal screen but; it was not a pick and roll play in my opinion. Great instructional clip by the way. Thanks for posting it.
