" The foul causes the ball to come out of A1's hands. Still on the way up (in the act of shooting), A1 repossesses the ball in midair (the ball has not touched the ground) and puts the ball in the basket."

The ball touching the floor is just one way the try ends. It also ends when it's certain the throw is unsuccessful. The shot ended when he lost control of the ball.

The try ends when the throw is successful, when it is certain the throw is unsuccessful, when the thrown ball touches the floor or when the ball becomes dead.
