Can someone give me a brief summary of the rule so that I can better understand?
Thanks in advance

If your screener rolled and created contact while moving, the official has to judge whether that contact impeded the defender. They may well have been switching, but if an illegal screen forces a switch the defense didn't want, it should be a foul.
