Can an offensive player move into the path of an airbourn defensive player?

That doesn't mean the offensive player has carte blanche to do whatever they please though.

the thread just went over my head with carte blanche. I have never seen an offencive foul called on this type of play. should there be??? maybe. when it is obvious that the offencive player initiates contact it is a no call usually. is that right by rule? prob not. not how ive seen it called though. i have no prob with a no call though.
