It shouldn't say "airborne player". It should say "airborne SHOOTER". If a player jumps during rebounding action and commits a common foul, s/he is airborne, but that is NOT a player control foul.

An airborne SHOOTER is a player who has jumped and RELEASED A TRY for goal, but has not yet returned to the floor.

Thanks for pointing this out, but it won't be recognized unless you respond to your own post with four of the following three items:

1) Off topic pictures and or song lyrics
2) Historical references to different and only tangentially related rules
3) Lengthy articles that repeatedly reiterate the same material over and over again along with as much other material as can be included

I'm not sure these guidelines are written anywhere; I've just gleaned them by following recent posts.

This didn't give you a chuckle? Not even mildly amusing?

There are certain posts I immediately identify as something I'm not going to read.

Back in the days when we literally had multiple dozens of Forum posters, almost all worth reading, some not so, I did the same thing.

Now, I'm just glad to see any new post.

My settings are defaulted to the last ten days of posts.

I don't know if anybody noticed, but a few weeks ago I was only one thread short of just the two sticky threads showing.

Only time I've ever seen that in my seventeen years on the Forum.

Thank God the few posters that we have left are almost all great rule experts whose posts can be quite educational.

While Forum quantity has certainly diminished, the quality hasn't.

The_Rookie's recent thread about undershirt sleeve length was a joy to read.

Great question. Simple answer. Confirmed by others. Easy citation. Nice reminder to officials, especially young'un officials. Asked and answered. Over and done with. No drama. No debate necessary. The Forum at its best.

Makes my Forum membership dues, paid annually to Mark Padgett, worth it.
