You keep saying this same thing over and over. (I especially like the croaking part.
) And if we are talking about a dribbler or a stationary player, then you'd be right. But the rule specifically says:

"If the opponent with the ball is airborne, the guard must have obtained legal position before the opponent left the floor."

When guarding an airborne player, you have to be at the point of contact BEFORE the player leaves the ground, even if that point of contact is directly backwards from where you were before the opponent left the ground.
