rainmaker: What would you like me to do to make this item more clear? thanks for your inut.

I'm not Juulie, but I'd re-word this to be a bit less referee-speak. I'd probably start by saying that a moving screen is not in and of itself a foul. Then explain that contact must occur for a foul to be called and briefly describe what makes a legal/illegal screen.
