In watching the UVA-NC State game, Virginia player shoots a three from left corner, returns to the floor, and is fouled, then ball goes in the hoop. The crew counted the 3-point basket and awarded one free throw shot.
The contact was minimal, and clearly after the airborne shooter returned to the floor. Video would help here (5:54 to go in first half).

I see this often called as a "shooting" foul. I believe that it should be a regular old common foul since the shooter is no longer a shooter once he releases the ball and returns to the floor. Is the NCAA rule different from the NFHS rule set on this type of play? Do supervisors/commissioners want this called as a foul against a shooter as if it happened during the shot attempt?
