10-6-3d
A player who is screened within his/her visual field is expected to avoid contact by going around the screener. In cases of screens outside the visual field, the opponent may make inadvertent contact with the screener and if the opponent is running rapidly, the contact may be severe. 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, and provided the screener is not displaced if he or she has the ball.

So there's your rule citation, Wolfe: 10-6-3d Almost word for word what you were looking for. Although the way it's worded in the book, I'm not sure that's the way I'd reference it. Also, note that it's in the rule book, not the case book. Too bad there is that little provision about the opponent stopping or attempting to stop on contact. It waters down your case a little. Let us know whether your friends buy your arguement. And if they do, you owe Hawks Coach $5.
