Even if the defender is not concentrating on the inbounder, people have different levels of peripherial vision what one person sees many other people may not. For me it is simple, he is looking forward, the screener is completely on his side, outside his field of vision.

Whether the screener has the ball or not does in fact matter because I see this play as incidental contact. Read section 21, article 5. For you, it doesn't matter since you don't believe it to be incidental contact.

I dont think its incidental because i dont believe it to be a screen set outside the visual field. I think 21-4 applies. I think what is and isnt within the visual field is a standard for all. Front or side is within. Anywhere behind or out of that field is not. We dont consider who sees better than others.
