I guess my brain if fried, becasue I cannot picture how I would call a foul on this play, unless there was displacement. Simply putting yourself between the defender and the person with the ball is not a foul, even if you move to maintain that screen, unless there is contact that puts the defender at a disadvantage. If you maintain a space that let's B adjust, I would let minor contact go.

Well said, Brian, especially your first paragraph.
