Rule 6- Section 7 DEAD BALL
Exception: The ball does not become dead until the try or tap ends, or until the airborne shooter returns to the floor, when:
3. A foul is committed by any opponent of a player who has started a try or tap for goal (is in the act of shooting) before the foul occurred, provided time did not expire BEFORE the ball was in flight.
This will probably be controversial on this forum (and unpopular with the shooters team and fans), but
..
Based on the above-cited rule, I would interpret this as contact that occurred AFTER time had expired and AFTER the ball was released. Therefore, no foul, game over, unless the score was tied. Then we are going into OT.

You're missing the point, willie. The ball is dead but the airborne shooter, who is considered to be in the act of shooting, is still entitled to his FTs.

Not if the foul occured after time expired, which is how I read the first post.
RoyalsCoach said, "Airborne A1 releases the ball after the clock expires in the 4th quarter, but is fouled on the way down."
Contact after time expires is nothing unless it is intentional or flagrant.

OMG, BZ agreed with me. Will wonders never cease.

Even you have to be right every now and then.
