If the jersey becomes unusable (blood, torn, etc.) It may always be changed with any other jersey (previously used or not) without penalty.

I think that we really should have shot two with the lane cleared whether the foul happened before or after the horn, because A1 was an airborne shooter the whole time. Not sure if I read this on the board or in the rule book so I don't have a reference but in a similar situation where the shot is released, horn sounds and then A1(shooter) gets fouled after the horn before he returns to the floor we would still call that foul correct? Isn't this the same type of situation except that the ball was released after the horn?

I must disagree here.
In the case you reference, the player had released the ball before the horn, so the ball actually remains live after the horn until the try ends. Also, fouls involving an airborne shooter apply until the shooter lands. So, any foul on the airborne shooter is penalized.
However, in the case at hand, an airborne shooter is a player who has released a try. While a try had started, it ended when the ball be came dead by the exipration of time with the ball still in the shooters hands. The player never becomes an airborne shooter. Any foul after the horn, is just that, a foul after the horn...to be ignored unless intentional or flagrant.
