Players leave the floor (without LGP all the time) and are entitled to a spot to land.
Quote me a rule that states that defensive player jumps at his/her own risk. That you must have LGP to jump as a defender, and that a dribbler or shooter can take that away from a defender.
This has everything to do with landing spot! When Defense jumps firts he is entitled to his spot to come down. If another player jumps into the path, creates contact, and in doing so takes away the opportunity to come down, you cannot penalize the player. We get paid to make the judgement of who was entitled to the spot first and who gets there first. If a defender jumps and tries to get to path of dribbler and gets there first, we have a PC foul. (assuming that in jumping in front of dribbler there is LGP)
By this logic you could fake get a defender in the air and undercut him because he may have not jumped vertically. Good Luck explaining that a torpedo by the offense is not a foul because the jumper did not have LGP and that he left his feet at his own risk and did not jump straight up, the offense under cut him, dropped him to the floor, because he is not entitled to jump to play defense, not entitled to land because he jumped forward. NO WAY!
Gues we'll have to agree to disagree but at least i can support my justification by rule whereas calling this a block 100% of the time cannot be justified by rule.

What rule(s) do you have to support your opinion? You have not stated one.
I have 4-23-1, 2, 3, and 4, 4-44-1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7, and 10-6-note which says, if B1 JUMPS both feet must return to the floor for them to have guarding position to take a foul.
