Check the CFO video from earlier this year about IBW. They make it clear the rule should include the blockers approach direction.

I believe that this is real clear. Both the blocker's approach and the actual contact must be within the 10-2 window. Here the approach is clearly from the side. This is an IBW.

Good point.
