That's probably because at one time not too long ago, the NCAA & Fed definitions of "shift" specified that the change of position be "by a movement of both feet". At that time it was common practice for other players of A to make upper body movements like this while a back continued in motion, and I think a lot of people just don't know about the change yet.
