Yeah, it sure does, Ref.
But aren't most illegal screens moving, at least a little?
If a young kid has his arms out to his sides and hinders an opponent, that would be holding probably.
Stepping to one side, or the other, and using a knee would probably be a block (lower body).
Getting next to an opponent with the arms crossed in front of the body and moving toward the opponent would probably be a push.
But, most important of all is that
there has to be contact. If a screener does any of, or all of, the things listed above and the opponent avoids the placement of hands, arms, legs, or any other parts of the screener, and goes around this "extended screener" without contact, then there is no violation. Eventhough, the screener was illegal and/or moving, if the defenders avoid contact because they are afraid of hitting the screener, there is no foul.
That is not "Our" problem; that is where good coaching could come into play.
