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.
4-41-4
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.

I don't get what you are saying. You just explained what has to happen for a try to end and in this case none of those are present. The kid regains possession in midair therefore it is NOT certain that the try has ended, and since he ragains in midair and is still considered in the act of shooting he can finish the play. This is just like a kid going in for a lay-up, getting hit on the arm, fumbling the ball and still putting it in the hole.
Count the basket and shoot one FT.
