The only place it talks about players with regards to position and jumping is:
Rule 4-23. GUARDING
Art. 1...Guarding is the act of legally placing the body in the path of an
offensive opponent.
Art. 4...Guarding an opponent with the ball or a stationary opponent without the ball:
b. If the opponent with the ball is airborne, the guard must have obtained legal position before the opponent left the floor.
[/B][/QUOTE]NFHS rule 10-6-3NOTE states the general principle to be used:-"The guard may not cause contact by moving under OR IN FRONT OF a passer or thrower after he or she is in the air with both feet off the floor. The key phrase is "in front of ....."! The same principle applies to a shooter or passer,also.They similarly can't cause contact by moving under or IN FRONT OF a defensive player after he or she is in the air with both feet off the floor.
That's what JeffRef is trying to say,I think.If it is,I agree with him,and this language backs him up.
