Setting a screen: face towards or away from defender?

Since when is setting a screen with your back to the defender illegal?

33.7 Screening: Legal and illegal
Screening is an attempt to delay or prevent an opponent without the ball from
reaching a desired position on the playing court.
Legal screening is when the player who is screening an opponent:
Was stationary (inside his cylinder) when contact occurs.
Had both feet on the floor when contact occurs.
Illegal screening is when the player who is screening an opponent:
Was moving when contact occurred.
Did not give sufficient distance in setting a screen outside the field of vision of a
stationary opponent when contact occurred.
Did not respect the elements of time and distance of an opponent in motion
when contact occurred. If the screen is set within the field of vision of a stationary opponent (front or
lateral), the screener may establish the screen as close to him as he desires,
provided there is no contact.
If the screen is set outside the field of vision of a stationary opponent, the screener
must permit the opponent to take one (1) normal step towards the screen without
making contact.
If the opponent is in motion, the elements of time and distance shall apply. The
screener must leave enough space so that the player who is being screened is able
to avoid the screen by stopping or changing direction.
The distance required is never less than one (1) and never more than two (2) normal
steps.
A player who is legally screened is responsible for any contact with the player who
has set the screen.

I saw too many bodies moving sideways, feet not planted, backsides outside the cylinder, leaning over to cause contact, ...

Really p..ses me off, because the kids I coach will start doing it and will get pinged for it !!

I'm depressed by how much is allowed that is clearly against the FIBA rules that we try to coach into our players.

Most screens I see I would call illegal. The permitted number of steps is obviously 3 not 2. I think I'd better stop there and go take a lie-down.
