I was surprised to see one called last night when the foul occurred long before the ball reached the potential dunker--indeed, he never touched the ball at all. (I'm not sure if he had begun his jump yet or not.)
A player needs to have the ball or have released the ball and be in the air in order to be in the act of shooting.
