In my opinion you are not using very good logic. A player is supposed to land without being contacted illegally while they are an airborne shooter. If a defender cannot defend a shot legally without making contact with a shooter who is airborne or a player that has reached the floor, then that would be a foul if the contact did not allow the player normal movement. Just because the ball is gone out of the shooter's hand, it does not mean you cannot put a shooter at a disadvantage.

Yeah if you knock him off balance on the way down. But I'm talking about minor contact on the arm after the release. Turn on any NCAA game on ESPN and see that called all the time.
Far be it from me to question the way anybody else calls a game, that's for sure. I'm just trying to broaden my perspective. However, who's to say that the incidental foul you won't call, couldn't have an adverse affect on the gameplay? Just because you don't see the advantage gained? I thought that's why the rules are there in the first place.
