Did the offensive player jump straight up, or did he go outside his vertical plane? He jumped into the defensive player. The player with the ball is to be given no more protection or consideration than the defender in judging which player has violated the rules.
Watch the clip again. If the shooter goes straight up, there will be no contact. He jumps into the defender creating the contact.
