Yes, that's very true.
One thing that confuses me is that the college rule for PC is different for men and women as it relates to contact after the shot is released, right?

Yes, but that does not change the application of the rule. Men's basketball just does not have the same airborne shooter rule. If the ball is released, you have no team control. It is that simple.

Also, the comments on the NFHS website say that "..the change makes the penalty consistent for a player-control foul and a team-control foul. In addition, the change reduces delays in the game. The rule only applies when a foul occurs by the team in control. By rule, there is no team control during a throw-in, jump ball or when the ball is in flight during a try or tap for goal." So, since there's no team control after the ball is released on a shot, then fouls by the shooting team are not TC, right? Which means we shoot if we're in the bonus? It gets very confusing!

Juulie, you really are think about this too much. This rule is only to reduce the FT opportunities for the team that was fouled by the team in control. If the all is shot and you have a rebounding foul, the same rules apply as normal. All you are determining is whether you shoot FTs or not. That is why the NF says that PC and TC fouls will be consistently applied.
Peace
