Snaqs rightly chastised you for your incorrect phrasing.

Well I can't speak for the college game although I thought it was all the same but in the pro game it is when the off. Player starts his upward shooting motion. Can you give me the rule citation where it says that the off player has to be airborne?

I know I used to think the same thing and then read deeper in my rule book and it was different.
