As I've said many times, this contact doesn't deserve a foul either way, but if one is going to be called it has to be on the screener, who did not give time or distance.

BZ,
I looked at the video three or four times each time I looked at it. First of all the falling of the screener was exaggerated or a flop. The defender did not even continue running through the screen. Once she made contact, she stopped moving. So even if the screen was not completely legal (which I do not agree with but for the sake of argument), then the contact did not pass the test that I have for what should be called. All contact is not a foul. The defender would have to try to keep going forward rather than hardly moving after they felt the other player.
I totally think the contact was legal and if there was any foul to be called it would have been on the defender not the screener for the reasons I stated above.
Peace
