Related question: we've all seen a defender run at a 3-pt shooter to harass the shot. The shot is gone when the defender arrives, so he turns around to box out the shooter and either hits him hard or gives him that nice buttsy, knocking the shooter down after the shot. Is it a no-call or a common foul?

First, a set shooter who has completed his shooting motion is no longer a shooter.
On the related question - IMO it depends on both severity of contact and A/D. If the contact is severe and A1 would have been knocked to the court if he was standing normally, I have a call. If A1 is off-balance after the shot and falls to the floor on limited contact, no call unless the rebound comes that way and the contact by B1 was both illegal and prohibited A1 from having a chance to rebound.
It's a judgement any way you look at it.
