What's your philosophy on a push from behind on an airborne(layup) shooter?

If the defender is trying to block the shot or actually play defense and just happens to foul from behind, then a regular personal foul should be assessed.

It is, but there's still always a debate when the push didn't cause much movement or the player to miss the shot.

Well said though.
