I would call holding foul, the shot does not count..... Not sure but I would award a1 two shots and call it a shooting foul.

this happened recently in a pick-up game and got me thinking...
If he is fouled in the act of shooting, he gets two shots. Why would he not?
The travel caused the ball to be dead, so the basket cannot count.
