Smoke...Think it through. Think of the jump shot as a stop action film. For a player to stop his follow-through, things must happen to the shot's form BEFORE THE BALL IS RELEASED that will affect the quality of the shot. WHen a player is hit AFTER THE BALL IS RELEASED, nothing has happened up to that point that will affect the shot. Once the ball is gone, what happens to the player is inconsequential to the shot. In fact, if you looked at a good shooter's form comparing two films...one of a shot taken, no foul, and one of a shot taken with contact after the ball is gone, the film would likely be identical.
