NHSAA - Rule 4 under one of the definitions of act of shooting, try, etc.
4-41 defines when a try starts and when it ends. As part of the rule,
the "act of shooting" is defined. Article 3 says it best: "The try
starts when the player begins the motion which habitually precedes the
release of the ball."

DentalCoug,
Welcome to the forum.
There is little to dispute.
The shooter had started the try and was fouled during the try. --> Shooting foul
If the shooter had released the ball and then was fouled after the release, but was still airborne:
NCAA Men - non shooting foul.
High School - shooting foul.
