Player A1 is shooting a jump shot going "east to west". Player B1 is coming "north to south". Player A1 has released the ball while B1 is in the air. After the release, A1 and B1 slap hands before they both land. The shot is not affected as it has already been released.
Foul or no call?
In your play it sounds like A1 is jumping into B1, who does
not maintain verticality (going north-south?). If I
understand what you're saying then B1 is responsible for
contact. Since the shot is already released the hand
contact usually can be ignored. If B1 would have undercut
A1 as he's in the air we have something different.
