Screening for Dummies
4-40-3: "...from the front or side (within the visual field)..."
4-40-4: "...from behind (outside the visual field)..." Is a screen from the side ALWAYS considered "within the visual field"? Can a legal screen ever be from the side but "outside the visual field"? Application: A screen is set just short of contact on a player's right side while that screened player's head is looking to her left. Legal or illegal?

I would say legal, since in the definition, "within the visual field" is in parentheses. "front or side" is the key part of the definition. I think it is assumed that even though a player's head is turned one way, the head can be swiveled either way.

Agree. It is about where a player could see. Not about where they happen to be looking. Otherwise, a player could turn their head away from an anticipated screen to make it illegal.
