I assumed Sigalet was teaching them to push forward, glove at least, with the intent to take away the vertical angle in close.

For me, on occasion I will try to push the glove forward when a guy is set up in front and has a shot he may tip. Only a bit though so as not to screw up the balance.

Yup. That's correct. In tight you're fine closing distance like you said. It's that shot from 40 feet out which is driving me nutty.
