"There are two types of screens, Legal and illegal.
You can have Legal moving or stationary screens and
illegal moving or stationary screens. Why make it harder than it is?"


That's just the point I was getting at when I initially started this thread--there's too much ambiguity surrounding the "moving screen."

In my opinion, there is no such violation as a "moving screen." If there's an infraction, it's in the form of a foul. I agree with the theory--no contact, no foul. Time and distance is also a key factor.

Interestingly enough, the whining I've been exposed to about the "moving screen" is coming from high school coaches, not rec league coaches. How many coaches actually read and/or understood the rule book? Or for that matter, how many fans? Oh well, guess it just goes with the striped shirt territory.

Thanks everyone for your input on this thread.
