It doesn't, really. At least it doesn't based on a conversation with the SRE about another play posted on the forum two years ago. To paraphrase his thoughts (in no particular order)...

*Defenders aren't required to become statues once their feet hit the ground. It's not a fair expectation.
*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.
