Sure, but how many 1000's of times has
Reggie Miller (and others) suckered officials
on ones like that? Again, can anyone think of
a single time an offensive player was called for
initiating contact when he broke into the defender's
vertical space when the defender was in the air?
I've never seen the call ever, at any level.

I've seen it a few times. I don't have any specifics but in one case (either NCAA or NBA, can't remember which), the shooter came around a high screen for a 3-point attempt. A defender came flying at the shooter but in a path that clearly was going to carry them past and to the side of the shooter. The shooter jumped sideways into the defender. The foul was correctly called on the offense. The official clearly felt that had the shooter was the reason for the contact and that the contact was entirely caused by the shooter's actions.
