It also says, A personal foul is a player foul which involves illegal contact with an opponent while the ball is live which hinders an opponent from performing normal defensive and offensive movements. A personal foul also includes contact by or on an airborne shooter when the ball is dead.
Is jumping into the air and being able to land without the offensive causing contact, a normal defensive movement, is the question.
