So what if we have an airborne shooter. A1 still has to come down without making illegal contact with B1 who had a legal position on the floor before A1 became an airborne shooter.

Mark, I respect your insight and your take on this is confusing me. Am I missing something? When I first read this post I thought it was a fairly routine play and a routine call. Perhaps we could have a PC foul on A if he were to come down into B1, but in the origional post A has beaten B1 and is on his way to the basket. B2 then sails in and has a nice block, but fouls A and knocks him to the floor. Even if B2 origionaly had LGP he has violated verticality by jumping INTO A.

At the worst you will have a foul by A1 and at the worst you will have is nothing.

If my understanding of the origional play is correct (and please let me know if I have missunderstood), then you either call the foul on B2 or don't, but we do have "something" because it is not incidental contact.
