Coach: Good coaching, When I was coaching I would tell my players the same thing, "brush shoulders". If more players would listen to coaches like you, we officials would probably have to call fewer illegal contact moving screens. Very often the screener will move, and make contact, illegally, because the player using the screen didn't come close enough to the screener.
