What if a defender jumps backward, away from the offensive player?

JAdams, yes, in the case you mentioned, it should be a player control foul. However, it has been my experience that the defensive player VERY RARELY jumps straight up. The defender more times than not has extended one or both arms in an attempt to block the shot and therefore has violated the principle of verticality.
Think about it, how many times have you honestly seen the defender jump straight up with arms extended at or near a 90 degree angle to the floor?
