Why is the defender moving legally to protect themselves from imminent contact now the one you are making responsible for making the play more "dangerous". The shooter is the one who went airborne and is now out of control and about to run into a legally placed defender. Rules say the defender is allowed to protect themselves, now you want to enforce an interpretation that says the defender following the rules needs to be punished: for making the situation worse for the shooter by protecting themselves legally? Why is risk of injury/concussion/dental work etc to the defender of less concern to you then the offensive player when the defender is doing nothing wrong?
