*Every player has their own vertical plane and they're allowed to rise within that plane. That includes straightening up.
*If their body moves forward outside their vertical plane and there's contact, they've committed a foul.
Again, that's me paraphrasing him.

For the record, I'm not the SRE and I've never spoken to that person, but my thoughts are directly in line with those. Too many officials over penalize defenders.
