Maybe you posted this late at night and you weren't thinking clearly. Does turning count as stepping? Are you serious? Stepping counts as stepping. Pick up a foot and put that foot back down. That's a step. The screened player must be allowed to make that movement (pick up a foot and put it back down) before contacting the screener.

Why are you trying to make this so hard? It's a step. If he can take a step toward the screener before contact, the screen is legal. If contact occurs before the step toward the screener is completed, it's a foul on the screener.
