Foul/Contact on a post up

Any player on the floor can always legally jump straight up. Any contact by an opponent in the jumper's vertical space would be either incidental contact or illegal contact by that opponent.

Is that what you were looking for?

I think that is what I was looking for, the right to the space vertically above you and the consequences of impeding that space. Thanks.
