Not an airborne shooter?

Don't know details of NCAA-M rules, but in NFHS, doesn't the shot end when the shooter lands? Thus a foul after the shot is over would be a common (not shooting foul). Am I misguided, or is the NCAA rule different???

If someone can post a video, it was at about 8:30 in the second half, on ESPN-U.

By rule, you are correct, under all codes.

By general interp, / the way it's called , you are incorrect.

Is it a correct understanding, that in NCAA, two feet down ends the "airborne shooter" status, but that NFHS requires only one foot down, to end the "airborne shooter" status?

I seem to recall a thread a few years ago that stated the above criteria.

Rob, I don't see the NCAAM videos. I know the NCAAm rule says player is airborne shooter until he "returns to floor." When one foot is down he has returned under ball location rules. I've never heard a discussion saying two feet is required to be considered "returned to floor."

Now I will error on the side of giving FTs.

Thanks, BigCat.
I just found an NFHS Case Book 2015-2016 statement:
4.1.1 ... "A1 is an airborne shooter when the ball is released until one foot returns to the floor. An airborne shooter is in the act of shooting."

I don't currently have a reference for the NCAA definition of "return to the floor." But I seem to recall discussions with colleagues, in past years, that indicate that both feet must have touched the floor, to end the "airborne shooter/in the act of shooting status." (It's not a subject that gets a lot of attention, either here or in camps.)
Maybe you or another of the Forum members that's currently doing NCAA ball can find a reference. I'll ask some of my NCAA friends if they can find a reference.
