Note that this foul would be charged to the player "boxing out" and moving into and under the airbourne player attempting to grab the rebound.

A jumpshooter is NOT entitled to land anywhere he wishes. There is no such rule and people saying such are perpetuating a myth. So what is the rule? The shooter is entitled to return to the same spot on the floor from which he jumped or to land in any spot which was unoccupied by an opponent when he went airbourne. A defender can't move into a new spot AFTER the opponent leaves the floor, but he is permitted to maintain the spot which he had and the offense player is not permitted to come land on him.
