Coach, it doesn't matter whether he was in the air when the foul was called, for two reasons.
First of all, being in "the air" has little bearing on whether the try was in progress or not. Many shot attempts begin on the floor. Also, it's possible for a player to jump in the air and then decide to shoot.
Second, "when the foul was called" is usually well after it was committed. It's possible the events happened in the following order:
1. Your player began his shooting motion.
2. He was fouled.
3. He traveled.
4. He jumped and/or started another shooting motion which was successful.
5. The whistle blew for the foul on the original shooting motion.
