The dribbler is allowed to move. If the defender moves toward him and inistiates contact, it's a foul on the defender. That's clearly referenced in my previous reply.
Yes it does.
The rule clearly says the defender can't move toward the opponent.
The shooter can jump into the defender if he doesn't have LGP and/or he doesn't have a position on the floor that he legally obtained.
You have nothing to support your "airborne defender" theory. You're taking rules that don't apply and trying to spin them. It's a baseless argument. I'm done with it.

The key phrase is "initiates contact".
The two players are 2 feet apart. A1 head fakes. B1 jumps to block the shot. His jump would have caused him to land 1 foot closer. But A1 now jumps into B1 as he releases the shot. Who initiated the contact?
