I remain confused.

The criteria is whether the player being screened stops or attempts to stop
upon feeling the contact. The initial contact may be quite severe because the player being screened didn't see the screener and thus was unable to stop or slow down before the contact occured.
Iow, it's what the player being screened does
after the contact that determines whether it's a foul or incidental contact. If they continue trying to go
through the screen
after the contact, then it's a foul. If they stop and have to go
around the screener, then the screener has done their job and it's incidental contact. That's always a judgment call.
Make any more sense now, Ron?
