WPA (World-Standardized) rule:
Caveat -- not all events/matches are played under WPA rules.
1.7 Balls Settling
A ball may settle slightly after it appears to have stopped, possibly due to slight imperfections in the ball or the table. Unless this causes a ball to fall into a pocket, it is considered a normal hazard of play, and the ball will not be moved back. If a ball falls into a pocket as the result of such settling, it is restored as closely as possible to its original position. If a settling ball falls into a pocket during or just prior to a shot, and this has an effect on the shot, the referee will restore the position and the shot will be replayed. The shooter is not penalized for shooting while a ball is settling. See also 8.3 Ball Pocketed.

Violent shots!
I would probably agree in most shooting situations. The OB probaly fell from the violent nature of the jump shot which moved or vibrated the entire table. If he had bumped the table hard with his leg we would probably call foul. If the OB fell before his jump shot occured then I would say no foul. Reset balls. I think he caused the OB to fall. That's his mistake. Foul and BIH.

are you saying that when you went to jump, the ball you were aiming at was on the lip of the pocket and it fell in the pocket as you were jumping it ???
if so its always been my understanding that if a ball does that after lying on the table for more then 5 seconds then it spots back up

Nope. Not according to the rule, which is listed above.
In all games in which a ball can settle (more or less by itself) into a pocket. The shot is replayed.Is this thread serious?In what game is a scratch not a foul?
Only if neither one of you knows the rules.
