It's hard to describe exactly what happened. A1 begins the habitual motion of shooting by bringing the ball in towards his body while jumping towards the rim (a la a layup or dunk). As he's going up, he gets hit on the arm, causing him to lose control of the ball. The ball's, and the player's momentum is still upwards, and the player is able to catch the ball and try to dunk it. He missed, but let's say he made it. Would you count it?

Hope that makes better sense.
