Exactly!! It's not a screen if it doesn't meet the requirements of 4-39-2. It's blocking. Therefore, it's NOT a screen.

You are not bothering to read my entire post. I keep saying that when a player does not set a screen properly and illegal contact occurs, the foul is a blocking foul. When a defensive player does not obtain (NFHS)/establish (NCAA and FIBA) a legal guarding position properly and illegal contact occurs, the foul is a blocking foul.

In my example B4 attempted to screen A1. B4's attempt at setting a screen against A1 did not meeting the requirments of NFHS R4-S39, and when contact occured, B4 is guilty of a blocking foul. Please re-read my expample, you will see that R4-S39 applies and R4-S23 does not.
