Your opinion that ANY contact now caused by a screener rolling to the basket should be ruled incidental is contrary to the guarding principles as outlined under NFHS rule 4-23. If the defender had established and maintained LGP on the "roller", there is no way in hell you can call the ensuing contact as always being incidental contact, as you are asserting. It could be a charge if a LGP was established and maintained. It could be a block if there wasn't a LGP at the time of impact. It could also be incidental contact. You have 3 options to consider, not the one(incidental contact) that you are opining.
Rules rulz!

I thought we were discussing the pick and roll? You are changing the subject. I never said that any contact after the screen between the cutter and the defensive player was incidental, YOU were the one who 'asserted' it. Obviously, if there is a defender in LGP who gets displaced by a cutter there would be a foul. LGP is sort of the trump card for everything.
Now, if you want to discuss when a screener is no longer a screener but a cutter, then that would be more helpful.
