I disagree here. If that's true then in theory: A1 could be fouled going up for a layup, not release and come back to the ground then shoot and make it and be awarded the basket plus one FT.
The pivot foot returning to the floor before the release ends the try. He was not able to get the shot off so the basket doesn't count. A1 receives two FTs for being fouled in the act of shooting, as HoopGuy originally stated.
