A long time ago in a galaxy far away, before the Rules Committees started writing stupid rules, this play would not have been a problem. Once upon a time, once the field goal attempt left the shooter's hand and then the ball was touched by another player, the attempt ended with the touching by the other player. See how easy this rule was to apply.
