Avid brake question....possibly stupid....saltybiker

Is it acceptable to have a little play in the brake pads. If I grab the front brake and rock the bike back and forth with a good amount of force, the pads will sometimes slide to and fro with the bike. Does that make sense? Is that bit of sliding ok? Thank you for your replies.

...but also found that if I grab the brakes even more firmly, it stops happening, for what it's worth.
