moving screen
Illegal blocking foul
In basketball, a moving screen is an illegal play where the player setting a screen shifts position as the defender makes contact, rather than remaining stationary.
It's a foul that often goes uncalled, leading to perennial complaints from fans and coaches: He gets away with moving screens every possession.
The term sometimes extends metaphorically to any interference that's technically against the rules but rarely penalized.
