I would agree .
Except that its not the jumping we are calling the foul. Its the landing that causes the contact. If there is jumping but no contact at the end then there can't be a foul. So really what needs to be cleared up is the difference between leaving your feet and ending up on a player and "jumping onto" a player. IN both cases we are landing with equal or at least similar forces in contact and accoriding the POE that gets referenced the key difference would appear to be the amount force generated on the take of "jumping".That seems like a vague and grey area to be absolutely a foul.
