Contact is made between the 2 players. Whose the foul on?
We discussed this at our meeting today and we had about a 50-50 split.
I got a defensive foul. Our Interpreter has an offensive foul.
What say you?

Listen to your interpreter. The NCAA made a point of this being an offensive foul in it's instructional videos a couple of years ago.
At the NFHS level the call is justified by the rule that once a player goes airborne another player who moves to a new location in the path does not have a legal position.
