.......I would have to interpret as: (#3)
If a defender makes a motion to defend the post, you could presume "the screen was set in view of the defender" at that point, thus if the wing player forced the defender to deny a potential lob pass, the the offensive post player then continued to just hold position---the wing player could then drive baseline and or pick/roll....

I'm not sure what you're getting at with your interp but #3 is a legal screen so the screened player *might* be responsible for contact, depeneding on what happens next (the screener might still hold or chuck the defender as he tries to get by). If the screen is not legal then the screener is responsible, as I said earlier.
