I think that you are being a little harsh on the fans. The rule book clear says in Rule 10-17 Section 19 Srticle 4 BR 121 "No player shall set a screen while moving". Yes I do agree that we will not be calling fouls every time 2 players dump into eachother but I do think there is such a thing as a moving screen. I do not think that it is prefectly legal for a screen to move into the path of a defender without giving proper space and time (one step). The rule book also says that the screen cannot set a screen out of the visual field of a defender without giving that one step space. So in both those cases I would call a blocking foul and if a coach was to ask I would say "He was not legally set" or even "He was still moving".
