They consider both of them as 'game interupters'.

And there are senior officials who would call this logic a load of crap.

Jurassic Referee just rolled over in his grave.

Do they ignore CG if the offensive player is standing still? No. Then why ignore if he's retreating even though the defender is doing what's required?

Same goes for hand check, how many hand checks are they letting go because they are successful in steering the dribbler sideways?

Some senior officials I know would call that stupid.

Hey... don't shoot me. It is not my stichk. I try to discuss this in pregame and if that is what they want to do, then I go with the flow.
It's not a battle that is worth fighting.
