I would think there'd be a difference depending on which way the "screener" is facing. If he's toward the defender head-on, that's one thing. Sideways to incoming player would be entirely different. On the other hand, if he's just standing there picking his nose, so to speak, I'd have a hard time calling him for any contact which may occur.
Still, I think the defenders are being a little flimsy if they say they can't get around him because he's taking up too much room. Sheez no player is THAT wide!
