There is no such reference in the rules called a "moving screen." I know there will be those that will disagree, but a screen that is moving in itself is not illegal. A screen could be sationary and be illegal (blind screen for example).

If you do call an "illegal screen," it could be a common foul or it could be intentional or flagrant as well. It depends on what the player does. Throwing an elbow to the head might be ruled intentional or flagrant. In those cases the team fouled would get the ball back.

You watched a lower level (sub varsity) game. It would not surprise me that you might have had some officials that do not understand the new rules or other rules. If an "illegal screen" was called, this would be a team control in the situation you discribed and that should have been a team control foul in both NCAA and NF rules.

Peace
