Camron,
In defining a foul, the rule JR cites states specifically that extending the arms "other than vertically" is a foul if it results in contact that hinders the normal movement of an opponent. It further states that this restriction includes rebounding. I really don't see why there is so much confusion on this.
I agree with Kelvin that perhaps this could be cleaned up a bit, but it still seems pretty straight forward to me. Contact (other than fighting, Lotto) cannot be penalized on the player who owns the air space in which it happens. If he's not completely vertical, then we're talking about international air space and verticality privileges no longer apply.
