Art.1 Charging is illegal personal contact by pushing or moving into an opponents torso.

OK, with that definition, that brings me to a question...
A1 has the ball dribbling toward the basket. A2 has set up a screen for B1 who is closely guarding A1, B1 doesn't see the screen and plows right into him (see this all the time). Acc. to the above mentioned rule, that would be illegal contact by moving into an opponents torso. So, do you call it or is it a no-call

I found a pertinent section under NF rules - I am sure NCAA has the same but don't have those rules. Knew it was there but missed it the first time.
10-6-3
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 much of what you see that is hard contact may just be incidental contact.
