The offensive player is in the air, after jumping towards the basket, before the defender gets to the spot and gains LGP, when he catches the ball. And he lands on the defender's foot. Now, you can assume that he would have fallen into the defender anyway and committed a PC foul, but I'm not assuming anything. I'm calling this one a blocking foul.

BTW, maybe it's a college thing, but I don't recall a part of the rule saying something like "you gotta give the player a chance to change direction", like the announcer is saying. Is this another "the announcers, for the most part, are idiots" thing?
