2) Yup, I think a player should be allowed to land if there was no one in his path when he went airborne.
3) Yup. A shooter can't legally jump into an opponent. And if a defender jumps within his vertical plane, a shooter can't move under him legally either.
4) Yup, it's a judgment call imo too.
5) But was the net effect an illegal screen? That's where the judgment lies.
As I said, we're just gonna have to agree to disagree on this one, Camron.

Which goes back to my and
Snaq's question. So now a screener can go airborne into the path of a guard and thus becomes absolved for any responsibility for the contact that ensues?
