Moving Screen ...

No way. At least not to thousands of fans in the cheap seats yelling, "Moving screen", over the past forty years.

From the Misunderstood Basketball Rules list:

A moving screen is not in and of itself a foul; illegal contact must occur for a foul to be called. If a blind screen is set on a stationary defender, the defender must be given one normal step to change direction, and attempt to avoid contact. If a screen is set on a moving defender, the defender gets a minimum of one step, and a maximum of two steps, depending on the speed, and distance of the defender. Players setting screens must have both feet inbounds.
