I don't agree with this... At least, it's not tempting to me. If the defensive player has position, I certainly don't require him to have his arms straight up -- there are certainly many players that I wouldn't want to take a charge from thataway!
Plus, as pointed out by Mark, a player can put his hands in front of his body -- and can even turn -- to absorb the impact of the offensive player.
