Re: Riddle me this . . . airborne shooter

The NCAA rules online referenced in a previous post shows the following:

1. In the table of rule differences, re: airborne shooter, it says of NFHS "In air after release of try or tap" and under NCAA Men "No rule".

2. In Rule 4-1-1 (Airborne Shooter) it says "An airborne shooter is a player who has released the ball on a try for goal until one foot has returned to the floor." And 4-1-2 says: "An airborn shooter is in the act of shooting".

Am I out of my mind? DON'T answer that. Rather, answer: "Is the table consistent with the definition?" and "What, concisely, are the practical implications of the difference in the NCAA and NFHS version of 'airborne shooter?'"

TIA
Practical impact: under ncaa mens if the ball is released on the shot before the still airborne shooter (A1) charges into a defender (B1) then it's NOT a PC, score the goal & B1 shoots 1&1 if in the bonus. Of course under fed & ncaa/w this is a pc. See also NCAA 4-26-8 a&b to complete the picture.
