Need clarification on moving/illegal screen

If your descriptions of the plays are accurate, then the official penalizing you for an illegal screen is not correct.

To set a legal screen you must be stationary at the time of contact, and you must give proper time and distance to a moving opponent to avoid you (never more than two strides).

Want to re-think that part there is an exception.

True, but generally a player is not going to be purposely screening in that situation (moving in same path and same direction). The event comes about more through favorable circumstances than anything else.

Doesn't matter...Must be stationary is black and white...the screening rule has some gray.

Fine, but I also wrote, "To set a legal screen...," not "To screen legally..."

Therefore, my diction implied that the players in question were not running in the same path and direction.
