The NCAA rule is essentially the same as the NFHS rule. An airborne shooter must be given the opportunity to land, unless the defender obtained his position in the shooter's path before the shooter became airborne.

This play was not discussed at the camps I went to, except for the common admonition to watch the shooter all up and all the way back to the floor.

Not sure what you mean by accepted applications. I think the most common scenario in which this type of foul is called is when the defender turns to "box out" the airborne shooter and makes contact before the shooter lands.
