Your question's kind of off, if a defensive player has the ball, their on offense not defense therefore he/she is not a defensive player, but an offensive. Sounds like you're trying to ask is it a foul to jump in the air when the offensive player is trying to shoot. If that's your question then the answer's no, just straight up classic man-to-man defense.
It really depends on the situation and the ref, but in the rules a defensive player cannot make contact with an offensive player.
uhm no!!!!!!!! its called playing basketball! that's what your suppose to do. as long as they don't hit the person while trying to get the basketball then its not even a foul
answer to the riddle why did the basketball player need long arms: to reach his hands
To effectively take a charge in basketball, a player should establish legal guarding position, anticipate the opponent's movement, and absorb contact without initiating it. This involves planting both feet, keeping hands up, and bracing for impact to draw a charging foul on the offensive player.
Double Dribble.

Don't dribble on me?
The most common strategies for minimizing defensive fouls in basketball include maintaining proper defensive positioning, moving your feet instead of reaching with your hands, anticipating offensive player movements, and staying disciplined to avoid unnecessary contact.
Hands down, Lebron is a much better Basketball player than Kobe.
No because soccer yo can't use your hands and in basketball you have to use your hands.
It would depend on if he got the ball or if he got the arm, hands part of the ball so if he/she hits the ball handlers hand, then it is not a foul.
Yes, in the game, you must swap hands with another player when you play the Swap Hands card.
