I know in NFHS rules of course 3 shots is warranted but I thought NCAA was administerd differently?

the "no airborne shooter" statement ONLY applies to a PC foul. That is, a shooter who has released the ball and is still aitrborne cannot commit a PC foul -- any foul will be a common foul and the try will count (if successful).
The statement DOES NOT apply to fouls ON the airborne shooter. The player is stil considered to be in the act of shooting until he reaches the floor. Thus, the three FTs described were correct.
Edit to add: The above applies to NCAAM only. the NCAAW rule is the same as the FED rule.
