The answer to your second question: Yes.
Mark T.,
This is a fine and expected answer. It is a call that is expected to be called by most coaches, players and fans.
But, if light contact does not put imbalance to the shooter (airborne, or not), by what rule, or definition, may we substantiate our call?
