This is the only one you need because the PENALTY section of 10-6 says to award 2 free throws to a player who is fouled in the act of shooting. What happens after the foul is irrelevant (except for determining the number of free throws).

Once you start the motion, you're in the act of shooting. If you're fouled in the act of shooting, you're getting free throws. It's that simple.
