Why is the foul on the airborne shooter a dead ball foul?

Hmmm, ok how about
:
1. A1 goes airborne and releases the shot
2. B1 hits the ball into the stands with his/her fist [9-4]
3. Now the ball is dead, the shooter is in the air and a foul could occur.
...the wording (Rule 4-19-1)
A personal foul also includes contact by or on an airborne shooter when the ball is dead. has to be in the rule book for
something valid (doesn't it?)!
