Camron, I don't feel comfortable about this definition. Seems to me, if a screener sets and the defender slows down short of contact and then tries to get around, time and distance still apply for the screen, and the screen should be allowed to move to stay in the path of the defender, as long as they allow said defender time to change path again or stop. If the defender has slowed way down, that wouldn't necessarily need to be very much distance or very much time.

Also, I'm assuming you are assuming that there is contact. You don't call fouls for "moving" screens when there's no contact. Do you?
