The NFHS rule seems pretty clear.

When screening a stationary opponent from behind (outside the visual field), the screener must allow the opponent one normal step backward without contact.

One normal step backwards. There's no rule that says a normal step is 24 inches or whatever. If there's contact and there's less than a step taken when the screened player turns, it's a foul.
