I agree, however, let's say the following occurs during the play. A1, while airborne attempting a try, shoves B1 in the face with one hand, releases the ball with the other, and the ball goes in. I'm obviously going to penalize the foul by A1. In my mind, I don't believe I can call this a player control foul so I have two choices, intentional or flagrant personal. In both cases, since it wasn't PC, I believe the basket counts and then you penalize the infraction by A1 depending upon which way you call it. If intentional, B1 gets two shots and then team B gets the ball at the spot nearest the foul. If flagrant personal foul, A1 is disqualified, two free throws to B1, ball to Team B at the spot nearest the foul.

This play is different from the one that started this thread. In your play, you have an intentional foul, followed by the release of the ball. Since the foul causes the ball to become dead immediately, the shot is of no consequence.
In the original play, the ball was released, then the intentional foul occurred. Here, the ball does not become dead until the try ends, so the shot might count.

Sounds like someone ought to go to NF and suggest a rule clarification/change to state that an intentional or flagrant foul by the airborne shooter will result in basket being disallowed. I can't honestly believe that they would want this type of call to be made.
and rpwall added:
Does NFHS Rule 4-19-5(c) mean an airborne shooter cannot commit an intentional or flagrant contact foul? i.e. does it say a foul by an airborne shooter takes precedence over an intentional foul?
Or, is it saying an airborne shooter can commit an intentional foul even though the ball may be dead?

I think the Fed has answered this. 4.19.6D Is it possible for airborne shooter A1 to commit a foul which would not be player control? Yes. The airborne shooter could be charged with an intentional or flagrant personal foul or with a technical foul.
