It sounds like a change to me. In the Casebook (last years) they only talk about the shooter being in the act of shooting. They are really unclear as to who is being fouled. Look at 6.7 Comment.
I can see why it would be confusing. All they talk about is A1 shooting and B fouling. They kind of leave out that B could foul anyone. I always interpreted that as B fouling A1 in their example. That also seems like a hard thing to judge as well. But if that is the rule, that is the rule. You still can do what you have always done, because the play is not dead just because you blow the whistle.
Peace
