A foul either way but the penalty could be different (shots vs. ball out of bounds).

Dumb question if you ask me.

Actually, it's not really a dumb question. As you point out, you have to know the proper rule to assess the proper penalty.

As Bob said:
1) Player in air with ball. Shoots- then crashes into a defender while still airborne-->PC foul.
2) Player in air with ball. Passes- then crashes into defender while airborne-->common foul.

Good point, Larksy.
