To me, this is legal contact, the same as boxing out.

Actually, if you look back, I think that you'll find that both Camron and I did answer it. If the screener moves
into the defender after contact, it's illegal contact on the screener's part. The defender is entitled to their spot on the floor, and can't be legally crowded out of that spot. The screener can stay as close to the defender as he can get, but the screener cannot move into the defender.
