A defender is not allowed to be in an offensive player's vertical airspace. If there's contact that's more than incidental, even if initiated by the offensive player, the foul is on defensive player (assuming the offensive player doesn't do anything illegal).
A situation where you could see this play out is with a smaller player posting a bigger player, with the bigger player bring his arms down and the offensive player jumping straight up.

Chaos isn't a pit. Chaos is a ladder. Many who try to climb it fail and never get to try again. The fall breaks them. And some, given a chance to climb, they refuse. They cling to the realm, or the gods, or love. Illusions.
Only the ladder is real. The climb is all there is.
