Ah, but an airborne player is not the same as an
airborne shooter. The airborne shooter is granted
special status under both sets of rules that an airborne
player does not have.

Okay, I can buy that an airborne player is not the same as an airborne shooter. That was a quick comparison on my part. But please cite the rule for me that states that the period is extended until the airborne shooter returns to the floor. I bet you can't because it doesn't exist. The period ends when the try ends, if time has expired. If the foul on the airborne shooter occurs after the end of the period, then we start the next period with FTs. It's no different than if a technical foul had been called at the exact same time. The foul on the ABS is not ignored.
It's clear as a bell, it's even right there in the NCAA rule book. But you guys are saying the rule book is wrong.

Hmmm, you may have something here. It seems the rules do
differentiate the end of a
try and the
act of
shooting related to the airborne shooter. I'm gonna
think about this for a little while & get back to you.
