We also use the screen and seal on many differnt inbounds plays. And even pick and roll is a pick, reverse pivot toward basket, then movement.
So you are right that pick and roll involves movement, but many screening actions do not involve the screener leaving that immediate area. It really depends on the situation. [/B]

I agree completely - just that I differentiate the classical pick & roll from a screen & seal move and was addressing the former. We also used many variations of screens, including down screens & several inbounds plays as you described.
My favorite offensive component was pass, then screen away from the ball. I'd start them on it in 5th grade and gradually spoonfeed plays built on that premise until by 7th or 8th they were able to execute a reasonably effective dummied down version of UCLA's motion offense.
I do agree with Camron - if the screen was illegal and IMO the resulting contact created a disadvantage for the defender, even without displacement, I will call the foul.
