I don't think that's a player control foul. An airborn shooter has to shoot or be in the shooting motion. A player who jumps is an airborn player and the contact would be a push (I was actually told this is a charge and an airborn shooter commits a player control foul which would contradict the whole block/charge discussion making it a block/player control discussion). IMHO the only thing we can go by is what the player does and not what we think the player was going to do. It would be easier to explain to both coaches that the player passed the ball and we are going to shoot free throws, if you are in the bonus, rather than telling the coaches it is a player control foul.
