I agree with you. But, I see that called all the time that way in both highschool and college. The defender will basically be set and the offensive player runs into them, at it's a foul on the defender.Feet having to be set is the most often repeated fallacy of the rule. The rule book explicitly states the defender doesn't have to be set. No idea why announcers who are paid to know the game continue to repeat that when it is so obviously wrong.
