Boy, aren’t we picky.
However, I agree. If you look at rule 4-19-2 it says…
ART. 2 . . . A common foul is a personal foul which is neither flagrant nor intentional nor committed against a player trying or tapping for a field goal nor a part of a double, simultaneous or multiple foul.
This clearly shows that a foul is not considered a common foul if against a player trying for a goal, which an airborne shooter is a player trying for goal.
