Sounds to me like you are making the assumption that legal guarding position has not been established (both feet of defender touching the floor with his/her torso facing the opponent).
Don't let anyone fool you into believing that once this postion has been established the defender cannot move....
And Mark D sums it up......there must be CONTACT in order for the foul (illegal screen) to occur.
I beleive he's referring to the screener, not the defender, since 99% of all screens are set by the offense.
