The NFHS considers an airborne player to have landed when the first foot touches.
IINM, the NCAA doesn't consider the airborne player to have landed until both feed touch the floor...which would make (b) a block....again IINM.

Sorry, you are mistaken.
4-33-4d A.R. 92 in the 2007 NCAA case book is the same as the above NFHS case play.
Edit:
In the 2008 NCAA case book this play is numbered A.R. 88.
A.R. 88.
B1 takes a spot on the playing court before A1 jumps to catch a pass.
(1) A1 returns to the playing court and lands on B1, or
(2) B1 moves to a new spot while A1 is airborne. A1 comes to the
floor on one foot and then charges into B1.
RULING: In both (1) and (2), the foul shall be on A1 because B1 is entitled
to that spot on the floor provided he/she gets there legally before the
offensive player becomes airborne.
(Rule 4-35.4.d and 4-35.3)
