If the shooter has returned to the floor, he/she is no longer an airborn shooter and the foul will not be a shooting foul. This could possibly result in a 5 point play, where the shooter makes a three and then is fouled after he/she returns to the floor and is awarded a 1-1 or 2 throws. If you want to get strung up call that one at the buzzer in a 4 point game.
I'd just add that if the contact (push by B) happened after the ball went through the basket, it must (by rule) be ignored unless it's intentional or flagrant.

Even if it happened before the ball went in, I'd tend to ignore it (no a/d), unless it was pretty "serious" (and, I know, that term's not in the rules book).
