And this is a bad thing why?

BTW, I have been doing it this way; I might go 10 or 20 games before that even happens. What does happen more often is contact almost immediately after a player goes airborne or some contact afterwards. I do not see what is so wrong if a player mid-jump decides to change their mind.

Huh? What does is this supposed to mean or have anything to do with this conversation?
