That was completely legal. The screener "bowed" up a little to brace himself for the contact, but he didn't raise his arms up like some are saying. He simply put them in front of him to protect himself.

That looked a lot like a play that happened a few years ago at the Missouri Valley Conference tournament. It happened at about the same spot on the floor. Missouri State and Southern Illinois were playing. A kid named Tamaar Maclin from MSU (About 6'7", 250) screened Brad Korn from SIU (About 6'10", 240) and absolutely laid him out. I have a picture of him after the collision and he is flat on his back. It was brutal.
