As I've said, there's a gap in the rules: they do not specify how one can maintain a "legal position" (or, alternatively, how one loses it) after the shooter goes airborne.
One side of this conversation maintains that any movement by the defender entails loss of LP; the other side maintains that some movement is permitted (namely backward).
Without clarification from NFHS regarding what's missing from the rules, this debate is rationally irresolvable.
