I think this scenario requires us to differentiate between LGP, and displacement of an opponent that has a legal right to a spot on the floor, just by virtue of being there first.

All "protection" for an airborne shooter ends once they touch the floor. If an opponent is standing there, and allowed the shooter to return to the floor, the opponent "owns" that spot, and if contact occurs, greater responsibility is on the ballhandler, in my opinion
