4-Point Play?

JV-Boys game, NFHS rules (home team was even in white!).

A1 shoots a 2-point jumpshot while just inside the 3-point line while loosely guarded by B1. A1 returns to the floor. While the ball is in the air, A1 takes a step toward the basket to begin getting into position for a possible rebound. B1 reaches out with an arm across A1's midsection and clearly holds him. *tweet*. Ball goes in.

The foul on B1 is the 7th team foul therefore A is in the bonus.

Count the basket (2 points), A1 will shoot the one-and-one?

What was reported to the table was "Basket counts [with appropriate signal]. After the shot but before the ball went in there was a foul by B1. That is the seventh team foul for B, therefore A will shoot one and one."

B head coach obviously was upset and looked at me like I had two heads. Fans obviously don't understand the "4 point play" and how you can have one-and-one on a made basket.

Lead is POSITIVE the foul occurred after the continuous motion of the shooter. Did we get this right?
