Rule 4-40-4:
ART. 4 . . . When screening a stationary opponent from behind (outside the
visual field), the screener must allow the opponent one normal step backward
without contact.

There are no case plays for any article of rule 4-40 which could provide insight beyond the (straightforward) term "normal step." Official's judgment.
