Fouled after landing

An earlier thread got me thinking about a very plausible scenario, but one that I don’t recall seeing or at least being called in my short carrier.

Scenario:
Three point attempt: A1 goes up, releases shot and lands. B1 then spins to box him out but is too aggressive and clearly fouls A1. The ball then goes in and the ref calls the foul and scores the bucket. However, at the time of the foul the shooter was back on the ground after the shot, so it’s not a shooting foul. Also, team A is in bonus, so he gets a one-and-one or two shots. We would have what would appear like a 5 point play. I believe this is all correct but would seem odd. I’m sure some coaches and many fans would perceive this as A1 getting two shots after getting fouled on a made 3 pointer.

Is this all correct? Comments?
