If the ball is released before the airborne player commits a foul it's a common foul, as Chuck points out. Score the basket. Also, since it's a common foul you go down the other end & shoot if the team fouled is in the bonus. I've never seen this happen.

This actually happened to me in one of my first college games. It was a community college 2-man game and I was lead. Play came right at me and it was right out of the casebook. A1 goes airborne, releases shot, A1 displaces B1, whistle, ball enters basket.
First season doing NCAA, and I immediately put the hand behind my head. (I know, wrong mechanic.) Had to put the fist back up, bang the basket home, point the other way and put up the 1-and-1 signal. It was really fun to talk about after the game. I felt I'd really blown it, but my partner assured me that nobody else knew what I'd done.
