A2 doesn't seem to know that A1 is coming that fast behind him so he has no intent of setting a screen, but A1 knows exactly what he is doing to free himself from B1. A1 successfully ran B1 into the back of A2.
Smart play by A1 or illegal screen on A2 ? A2 was moving when B1 ran into him. Coach wants illegal screen. I had a no-call. What do you think?

The way you describe this play it sounds like an instance of two players, A2 and B1, moving in the same path and direction. That's the only time that a moving screen with contact is legal.
The 2007-08 Simplified and Illustrated book has a good picture of this on page 61. It is labeled 4-40-6.
