If A1 is setting a screen with their legs well outside of their normal stance, and B1 makes 'legal' torso contact with A1...it shouldn't really matter where A1's legs are as they really don't have any impact on the contact made vs. if A1 was setting the screen with his legs inside shoulder width
I'm not trying to pick apart the rules/case book on what is/isn't a foul or what we've come to know as fouls...but it's just interesting to me.

Then it is a legal screen. I haven't seen anyone argue that it isn't. I have the same principle for screeners and defenders, if their legs are outside their base but contact is to their torso, they were legal.
What I have a problem with is contact occurring to the legs of a screener/defender with their legs outside of their base and officials deeming the screener/defender to be legal.
