But, at least by current and past rules, that wasn't was required and I don't see that it is really necessary. Who cares if a player moves if they had position by the necessary time as long as that movement does not move them INTO the path or towards the opponent. I am one that lateral movement should only be penalized if it is what creates the contact. If it is a matter of being hit on the left side of the chest vs the right but the defender was going to get hit either way, why should it matter.
