That's exactly what a legal moving screen is. It's when a player prevents an opponent from getting to a spot by moving in the same path and direction as the opponent. You say you don't believe moving screens exist and then you give a very good description of one!

The way I see this going is by the description given, movement is legal, any contact initiated by the screener while moving = illegal screen or a block. (terminaology may be the hang up)
