This is what I was thinking as well. Does the fact that act of shooting doesn't end until the airborne shooter comes to the ground in this case mean anything? The hand on the ball doesn't end the shot attempt and A1 did release the ball....granted once you blow your whistle you have a dead ball and a held ball, but if you watch this play all the way through before making this call do you let it go? Tough call if the ball goes in the basket....
