This call is just the opposite of the "failure to move" avoidable hinder. When a player "creates" a hinder by his movement, it is also avoidable. Sometimes a player, in his effort to get into a better court position, will cause contact with an opponent who is about to hit the ball, or a player will move in so close to an opponent who is hitting the ball as to cause a possibility of body contact. In either case, an avoidable hinder should be called.
It is also an avoidable hinder if one player, just as his partner is hitting the ball, moves directly in front of an opponent creating a hinder.
