I have to agree with JR... did some searching in the rule book but they have taken the Comments on the Rules out. It used to be there...The principles are always the same..
Every player is entitled to the spot on the floor provided they get there first.
Once a player jumps, there landing spot has been established and they are entitled to that spot to land.
Faking the defensive player up and then going under him (unless they are so close the defender would have surely fallen on the offender) is no different than a defender sliding under an airborne shooter after the airborne shooter has jumped.
