I disagree that you can only determine a jumb ball if and when the player(s) return to the floor. I have called many jump balls while the shooter is in the air with the defender's hand firmly on the ball preventing the release.
On the other hand, a jump ball can also occur even if NO players feet leave the floor. The attempted shot (or pass) does not have to be by an airborne player. Jump ball can result when player keeps feet on the floor. Seems to be a myth that both players have to be in the air.
