REPLY: While NCAA and Federation definitions of a shift differ, they are consistent in one aspect: When a player (or multiple players) are moving, they have not shifted. A shift occurs only when they stop moving and assume another set position. When they are moving, they are simply "in motion."
FED: NF 2-37: "A shift is the action of one or more offensive players who, after a huddle or after taking set positions, move to a new set position before the ensuing snap."
NCAA: 2-22-1: "A shift is a simultaneous change of position by two or more offensive players after the ball is ready for play for a scrimmage and before the next snap."
