Illegal screens

However, when you say that there are no moving screens, that is simply false. There are moving screens, as I pointed out above.

Well this is where I am going to disagree. Not because you believe it. Because you are on the internet saying it and no one I work for approves of that terminology. Now if you want to go on using the term, go right ahead. I am not going to use the term and the rulebook does not use the term. You can find the term moving screen in the rulebook is the same place you can find "over the back." When I call an illegal screen, I call it when rules are violated, not because there is a snappy term.

That is referring to a screen that is set on a player who is NOT moving the same direction as the screener. All you've told us is that that particular scenario is not a legal moving screen. But that's utterly beside the point.

No it is not. You cannot say one think is the point than dismiss something else without other proof. Also there was an article written in Referee Magazine that talked about "Rules Myths" and the article was repeated. The term that was included in the article was "Moving screen." Then they gave the reasons the term was used. I guess we just are not going to agree.
