Under both NFHS and NCAA rules the airborne shooter definition prevails. While the try for goal and act of shooting starts at the same time and the act of shooting ends with the release of the ball and the try ends when the shot is either made or is missed (I know about all of the exceptions). The airborne shooter definition extends the time of the act of shooting to when the shooter comes back down and touches the court, meaning the try could have ended by definition, but the act of shooting has not ended. This means that the foul against the shooter is part of the fourth quarter (NFHS), second half (NCAA), or overtime period (NFHS/NCAA).
In Play (b), A1's free throws are part of the second half.
