The screener may move and impede progress as long as he/she does not push, hold, etc... That is the whole idea behind the pick and roll. After the screener sets an initial pick, he/she rolls and therefore can continue to screen the defender even while moving. If there is no contact on the screen there is no foul or violation. If there is contact then there MAY be a foul.

hmmmmm......I'm not sure I agree that the intent of the pic n roll is to continue the screening action. But let's put it this way: the screener is obliged to not make contact with the defender as he rolls off. If he does and the offense gains an advantage then you have an illegal screen. We do agree on that I think.
