Rich1, There is almost nothing correct in your post....

Irrelevant. The shooter had a long time to avoid contact....before he started jumping. It is not like the defender appeared out of nothing. The shooter knows the defender is coming and has to make a choice. He chose to try to be the defender but didn't.

If the defender got his feet down before the shooter has left the floor, the defender got there.

All that matters is where he ended up, not how far he had to go to get there.

Not correct.

Again, not correct.
