In addition the OP states "The shooter just never shot it."
So where does the held ball rule come to play?
why complicate the call? Judgment calls lead to problems especially when a rule can be applied without any question
So using the above logic : a TRAVEL call only

This is very much a judgment call, and you're basing your ruling on his judgment. He judged that the shot was not prevented by the contact, based on how he worded his post.
In a game, on this play, there is judgment involved. Just like there is judgment on whether contact against a shooter affects a shot, or if it is incidental.
