shooter jumping into airborne defense

[SamIAm]

I don't think being airborne gives you any special priviliges unless you have jumped straight up, verticality.
Even then you can't reach out of the vertical space freely.
It depends more on what you are doing. If you are jumping horizontally you have responsibility to avoid contact.
Two players, A1 and B1 jump horizontally with their pathes being perpindicular, and player A1 has the ball, B1 is responsible for avoiding the contact. The NCAA rule book
mentions responsibility for contact being on the person in a unfavorable position. Yet the landing space for A1 and B1 may be unoccupied. (Neither A1 nor B1 get to the landing space due to the contact).
