Just something to think about:

If this was an airborne shooter, YES, the defender does need to be set before the shooter leaves the floor. If he slides after the shooter leaps, that's a block.

How so? Defender is sliding to maintain his LGP. Dribbler picks up his dribble and jumps into him, trying to draw a foul. Defender continues to slide, parallel to the dribbler's original path.

I'm referring to 4-23-4b
Guarding an opponent with the ball or a stationary opponent without the ball:
If the opponent with the ball is airborne, the guard must have obtained legal position before the opponent left the floor..
