I don't understand. How is this a foul on an airborne player who is returning to the floor when the opponent obtained position after the player was airborne? How is his supposed to avoid the opponent? Why is the opponent, an offensive player, taking this position to begin with?

Yea your right questioning thatinterpretation. The defender had landed and his momentum continued to carry him forward, at the same time the offensive player stepped forward. The contact occurred and it was called. I saw no need for Intentional or flagrant here. In my second example I think that a flagrant was definately called for at the least. Thanks JR that was a good comment.
