Here is how I would call it:
Shooter is airborne, releases ball, ball is blocked, body contact occurs while shooter is still airborne - Foul.
Shooter is airborne, releases ball, ball is blocked, body contact occurs after shooter has landed - Contact is deemed incidental (in most cases, unless it is excessive, intentional, flagrant etc.).
Arm on arm contact after block has occured I would probably deem incidental.
Thoughts?

I do not see anywhere in the rules where it says an airborne shooter
must be protected. If that is the case anytime an airborne shooter makes contact with anyone then it is a foul automatically. You do not have rules support for that any way it goes. And in order for you to have illegal contact, the defender had to do something wrong, not just contact and contact alone.
