I didn't say that either. I said they don't have the right to the space above them if they've not earned it by getting proper position (i.e., LGP).
If the contact is in the torso, the jump doesn't change the point of contact. However, if they jump and make contact with a shooter's arms above them, they will only be able to do so legally if they have obtained LGP.
But, if they had LGP, they can legally jump up such that it results in contact in the space above them and not be guilty of a foul.
