When these two requirements are not meant, and when there is sufficient contact delivered by the screener to bump, slow or displace, it is a foul on the screener.


Thanks, but I don't think so, JR.
What about the defender ... and not a screener.
Ain't no one can play proper defense with feet no wider than the shoulders.
May as well tie their shoes together.
