Yes. You cannot get up while in control of the ball (without a dribble). I would consider the player in control of the ball

Is there a foul here, or is it a no call?
My guess would be PC if anything.

Likely a foul, but I would have to see it. Technically the defender cannot be in the vertical space of the shooter and any contact would be on the defender. But if the shot was not affected (not likely) and the contact was minimal, then I might call a foul on the defender. Also keep in mind, the shooter cannot jump directly into the defender either, so you might just have a no call. I think this is just one of those HTBT situations.
