But how big is that one step. He already has the right to come down. But if you add a step requirement, any other dufus on the floor could committ a foul just by being in the wrong place playing good ball. Then you have to decide what one step is, if he if 3'nothing then you are taling 6" if the player is 6'10" then you are talking about 3 and 1/2 feet. There would be absolutely no consistency, and personally this would encourage the offense to try and get the foul by trying to jump into more players tahn they already do.

If a player is entitled to a spot on the floor then all players are entitled to the spot on the floor. We cant give a guy in the air the spot plus an additional area to come down in, that takes away the spot if somone is already there.

Naw keep it the way it is. It's a short sweet basic fundamental.
