"Field of vision" does come into play in determing whether the player being screend commits a foul.

Bob, somehow that statement doesn't sound right to me. As I mentioned earlier, I felt the "field of vision" doesn't determine the legality of the screen in that a player can legally set a screen within or outside the field of vision of an opponent. Rather, it is distance that determines the legality of the screen (should contact occur) on a screen set outside the visual field of the stationary defender. Would that be correct?
