Remember, the purpose of a screen is to get contact with the person you are screening. The best screens are those in which the defensive player doesn't see it until the very last moment or in some cases not at all. The contact in the latter case sometimes can look very violent yet by the rule stated the screen was legal and any contact no matter how severe is considered incidental.
This does not mean that after the initial contact we should ignore a push by the defensive person to go through the screener rather than around the screener to get to the ball or reestablish a guarding position.
