OK, so this "psuedo-violation" must have had its origin somewhere in the primordial soup of in-game "coach vs. official" confrontations way back in the day. And, evidently it has morphed into a national [international] practice.
Why not just tell the player: "you can move if that helps your throw in angle"? What's the big problem with just notifying/telling them?
And if the opposing coach disagrees, show him/her in the rule book where it's allowed--or at least "not disallowed".
