I have been debating this with my father who is a 27 year official and interpreter for his assosiation on a rule interp, and would like your thoughts. I know I shouldn't argue with my Pops, but we agree to disagree.

The Rule is 4-19-6 Player Control Foul. Case Book 4-19-6-C

The situation is: A1 leaves the floor on a shot attempt. B1 is stationary trying to draw the charge on A1. Before contact by A1 against B1, B2 goaltends the shot by A1. The rule states the basket counts, and B will get the ball on the player control foul. But, in 4-19-6-A the rule seems to contradict itself because of the player control foul.

4-19-6 states, a player control foul is a common foul committed by a player while he/she is in control of the ball or by an airborne shooter.

I interpret it that an airborne shooter is responsible for his/her actions until one foot touches the floor.
