This is what many ASA-detractors misrepresent. ASA mechanics will put the umpire in the preferred/prescribed position to watch the play develop. Obviously, at that point the umpire can adjust his/her position as necessary as the play dictates.
Your damn right you are not only allowed to move, but encouraged if necessary as long as one does not place themselves in a precarious position for a subsequent play.
