Airborne shooter/passer

[jritchie]

If airborne A1 passes the ball instead of shooting, he or she is still an airborne shooter as it relates to a player control foul?

could someone explain what this is asking???? is it that if A1 is airborne and passes, and runs over someone while still airborne, is it still a player control foul??? just a little confusing

He is not an airborne shooter if he passes. It is not a player control foul. If B is in bonus you shoot and your shooter is the person they ran over.

situation:
A1 going to the basket jumps towards basket to shoot, then realizes he is going to run over someone and while still in the air passes,but before he comes down, crash!!! Do you have a charge (out of bounds)or a push(shoot if in bonus)??

Whatever you want to call it, it is NOT a player control foul. As noted above, when he passes the ball, he no longer controls it. This "charge" or "push" has the same signal (two arms streched out, pushing) and the result will be the same. The ball is administered OOB unless the team is in the bouns and awarded free throws.

I think the language is what is confusing you. A player control foul is just that, a "player control foul." It is not correctly called a "charge." A "push" or a "charge" are actions by a player not in control of the ball. At least that's how I understand it.
