This is my position, when the offensive player jumps for a try close to the goal and beats the defense, he/she should have a legal spot on the court to return to and that should be under the basket.
I played ball for a long time and can't imagine playing defense directly under the goal. I see a knee in the chest or grill and sitting for the rest of the game.

Pass and crash - call it as a charge - not a PC foul, so you'll shoot free throws.
If the offensive player beats the defensive player down the court - you're absolutely right. Once the shooter is airborne, a defender coming in is charged with a block - mainly because this is a very dangerous situation.
If the defender has been set, though, then the dribbler/shooter needs to know that someone is in his path - that's when a PC foul needs to be called.
