Actually JR, you quoted the CASE play that I belive backs up what I am saying.
4.19.6 SIT B describes A1 passing the ball, but nowhere describes A1 as having left the ground...that is why it is NOT a player control foul, because A1 has NOT left the ground before he/she passed the ball.

RULIING: "The foul on A1 in both (a) and (b) is not a player control foul as A1 was not holding or dribbling the ball AND was NOT an airborne shooter in either situation."

This leads me to believe had A1 BEEN an airborne shooter the RULING would have been different. Do you see what I mean?

Dude, that casebook play is all-inclusive. It doesn't matter if A1 has one foot on the ground, 2 feet on the ground, or is airborne. If A1 PASSES the ball before the contact, he quite simply was NEVER an airborne shooter.

Now, answer my other question. Would you call this a PC foul if the player passing the ball off was back around his own FT line when the airborne contact occurred?
