PS: if someone moves diagonally they will then have moved laterally and forward relative to their previous position
And if ANY part of that movement, even if there is lateral movement, is forward, that is all that matters. Moving laterally doesn't excuse forward movement. And the forward movement that I'm referring to happened at exactly the time of the shoulder contact. Maybe there was other forward movement too but the only movement that matters is that which occurred at the very moment of contact.
