He obtained it before, and maintained it after. It also says the defender may move to absorb imminent contact.

I believe he is hung up on the word position, thinking it means a single position on the floor, as opposed to a position relative to the opponent.

He also might be thinking that the shooter's right to land includes a right to the entire path to that spot, whether or not a defender was in that path first.
