Good call. It's right out of the definition of an airborne shooter in R4-1. A1 as an airborne shooter is still considered to be in the act of shooting. If she's fouled before returning to the floor, it's a shooting foul.
Just another coach who doesn't know the rules. Tell him that he was lucky that you didn't call it an intentional foul for excessive contact by his defender knocking the shooter to the floor from behind- a la case book play 4.19.3SitB.
