Such a case is to be ruled as incidental contact provided the opponent stops or attempts to stop on contact and moves around the screen. (4-40-7)

I've had this debate a few times, I believe even on this site, that you can have severe contact on screens. Glad the NFHS put out a POE, I mean interpretation, to address this.
