moving screens

To the point of the "moving screen" - is the screen where the screener keeps moving to get in front of the player he's trying to screen, in effect, shielding the ball handler from the defender, illegal? From the discussion I've read, I'm not sure, and I couldn't find anything in the 2001-2002 case book that covers it (don't have my rule book with me).

Was contact made? Is the screener stationary at the time of contact (even if "moving" while getting in the way, but before contact)? Was time and distance given (if needed)? Were they moving in the same path and direction?

If it doesn't violate some part of 4-39, it's probably legal.
