A regular partner of mine was doing a BV scrimmage last week and had this very call. He watched the shooter down, the block-out displaced and he called the foul. The 3-pointer was good and the team got the ball back for a throw-in.
After reporting the foul, the offended coach and host of the scrimmage said, "you better not call that in a varsity game." 
Apparently all coaches don't agree with us. Wait, I already knew that.  |
Nope, not everyone agrees with what you just wrote as that is not at all the sentiment that BITS and I expressed in are posts. We specifically talked about the contact occurring while the player was still an airborne shooter. I even wrote that some contact can be acceptable AFTER the player has returned to the floor without being a foul.
The play that you described in your story does not involve an airborne shooter being fouled. It is completely different. The players and coaches accept protecting the AIRBORNE shooter from him being undercut and awarding one FT on made goals, they generally don't accept fouls being called against players who have already returned to the floor for minor contact resulting in the goal counting and the team getting the ball back for a throw-in, unless the contact is egregious and knocks the player into the third row.
The coach was absolutely right in his comment about how the varsity game is generally called, and your partner needs to learn the distinction.
