It may or may not still be a foul but the reasons would be different.

In this case, the displacement is the foul...not the prevention of the followthrough.
Exactly.

Once the ball is released, what happens to the hand has absolutely no effect on the shot. The ball is gone.

It's no different than a QB getting cream the split second AFTER the release. What happened behind the ball is of no consequence.

As for the play, if the player is displaced, I have a foul.

But I don't think my game will go down the tubes if I don't make that call.
I'm not talking about bumping a shooter, or a slight hit on a follow through.

I'm talking about any player moving an opponent off a spot with a "box out", and passing on that kind of play, CAN cause your game to go down the tubes.
