Lah me.
NFHS case book 4.19.3SitB play tells you how the FED wants this exact same play called. NCAA supervisors also will give out their own philosophies to their groups. Different conferences allow different levels of contact.
Why are so many people trying to apply NBA philosophies to lower level games? In the high school game, it's a foul if the contact makes the shooter hit the deck. Too much contact, you have to maybe think about intentional, but that one is judgement. The purpose and intent of the rule is to protect an airborne shooter when he's at his utmost vulnerability. If you let defenders knock airborne shooters on their a$$, then you aren't protecting them at all imo.
