From a NFHS high school perspective, a rule like this (above) is worded too simply and could be in conflict with existing airborne shooter rules.

If a jump shooter (with some forward momentum) had an open place to land as he goes airborne, he must be able to actually land with no contact by the defender. Defender can't move in late to take away a landing spot, and if so, the responsibility for contact is on the defender.

However, if the defender was in the landing spot before the jump shooter (with some forward momentum) goes airborne, the responsibility for contact is on the shooter (assuming everything else by defender is legal), with advantage/disadvantage applying.

Faking knocks the complexity of the play up a notch, but airborne rules, and advantage/disadvantage, still apply.

Also, NFHS high school rules don't differentiate between jump shots and "other" shots.
