Am I correct that this would negate the concerns you listed in your post #2 in this thread

A player setting an illegal screen is responsible for any illegal contact. If I understand your situation the answer is no, the defender initiating contact does not get the illegal screener off the hook. IMO the easist illegal screens to call are when the screener steps into the defenders path illegally and the defender runs into the illegal screen.

If the items in Rule 4-39 are looked at, then numerous backscreens set too tight should be called, such as a post player up on the elbows, setting a backscreen on the gaurd in a 2/3 zone to help the reversal.........and they should
be alot more visable.........

Yes, there are lots of things in 4-39 but remember 2 things:
- advantage/disadvantage still applies
- not all screens are seen if there are only 2 officials on the floor.
