Please reread what I said about contact. I did not say that all contact was illegal. I said that there is incidental contact during the game. My definition of non-contact is: When A1 is in an unfavorable postion compared to B1's position, and contact results, A1 is responsible for the contact.

Football is a contact sport. In football A1 and hit (within the confines of the rules) B1, and that contact is legal. Soccer is a contact sport (look at the definition of a fair charge).

So how does this view allow for contact on a legal screen
in basketball. Potentially a lot of contact there, B1
often has an unfavorable position before the contact and
the purpose is to leave B1 at a disadvantage after the
contact. Using your definition basketball is a contact
sport.
