From your post and what you described you saw...You don't have a shooting foul. From your post, it appears to me that you had your mind made up that he was going to jump stop.

What if he didn't get fouled until he came back down, then got fouled just as his feet hit the floor..would you call a shooting foul there?

If you thought he started his shooting motion, then award the FTs....

It's a judgement call if you think he's pulling the trigger to shoot...I don't think the jumpstop is part of that. I'm not giving continuous motion on a jumpstop...Too many things could occur after your foul that would tell me clearly he's not in the shooting motion.....he could land, pump fake 3X then shoot, he could land, pivot a couple times....he could land, fake, pass....
