Mark,

I'll agree a screen can be set by a defender and if illegal would be reported as a block.

I'll disagree that an illegal offensive screen is reported as a block. It is a team control foul and is reported as such. A team control foul, as you know, is penalized differently than the other common fouls.

You do both while reporting. Team-control signal and then the type of foul that was committed (block, push, etc.).

No I don't. No reason to.

So you just do both at the spot?

Nope.

Blow whistle. Drop whistle. Point the other way. Point to spot.

Color, number, hand behind head or punch to table depending on what gym I'm in and say "illegal screen".
