What if the offensive player wasn't shooting but dribbling down the floor. If a defender jumps into his path do we penalize the offensive player because he dribbled into the defender's landing spot. NO and the answer should be no every time. It all goes back to LGP which has been mentioned enough in this thread so I won't expound on that aspect. Simple put the defense has to control its manner of defending and jumping all over the place puts a defender at risk of fouling.
