You cannot use the mathematical definition of a word which is being used to describe human movement in a basketball game. You need to understand it in a basketball sense. If you go with the math definition, you end up with the absurd conclusion that a player should be penalized for having his arms at only 89 degrees instead of a perfect right angle.
