Before the ball has a chance to go in, I yell, "No shot", because I don't want the basket to count if it goes in, it doesn't, but I do award two shots for A1 being fouled in the act of shooting, that is his first shot motion, not his second shot motion. How far does continuation continue? Was this the correct call?

Continuous motion doesn't end until a ball is in the air, as per rule 4-11-2. If the shooter can fight through the foul and get the shot off, count the basket if it goes.
