But, if B1 jumps clearly to the side, as they should, to avoid contact and the shooter steps the side into the defender, I'm not likely to call a defensive foul. |
So where do we draw the line on this? The players are 2 feet apart. B1 jumps and would have landed 2 inches closer, but before he could land A1 jumps into his chest and throws up a shot. Is this foul still on the defense?

I am not a referee, but according to the rules, that should be a defensive block. Wouldn't it be easier if the NFHS and NCAA would have just listed clearly what a player can and can't do? |

Just like on a breakaway when A1, with B1 trailing and going airborne, jumps sideways to create contact. No call. |

If A1 is stationary and approached by B1, and B1's movement itself clearly would not have caused any contact, then A1 launches himself at B1, this is not even a legal guarding position issue.
