Screening can be called anywhere on the court.

Also, it doesn't matter what your intent is, if you illegally set a screen and contact the defender, it's a foul.

My favorite call has always been calling a foul on a player who sets to "box out," but then extends his hip and pushes his opponent a good five feet. They always protest when the whistle blows and I just respond "when you push the guy that far, it's not boxing out."

First of all there is no such thing as a "moving screen" that suggest something illegal took place. You can have a stationary screen and still be called for a foul under the right circumstances and you can screen someone while moving and be perfectly legal.

As stated you can be called for an "illegal screen" anywhere on the court. The lane does not exonerate you from being called of any type of foul.

Peace
