I find that most coaches are looking for a "moving screen" (which I too believe doesn't exist)when an offensive player is moving in the same direction as the dribbler creating what "they believe" is a moving screen. What I believe they fail to realize, is that any player is permitted to move or occupy any space on the floor inbounds (with limitations). The key here is CONTACT. No contact = no foul.

A similar situation exists when they are looking for "over the back" (another non-existant term). Whenever they observe a player out rebounding a smaller opponent, without making contact, they're looking for the call. I'm not calling it!
