Did I miss this?

My post implies the offensive player was doing the restricting, ergo the illegal action would be his fault. And yeah you have to have contact for a foul.

Yes sir.

A moving screen is not in and of itself a foul; illegal contact must occur for a foul to be called. If a blind screen is set on a stationary defender, the defender must be given one normal step to change direction, and attempt to avoid contact. If a screen is set on a moving defender, the defender gets a minimum of one step, and a maximum of two steps, depending on the speed, and distance of the defender.
