JR, I didn't see the play in question, so I have no idea if the ball was released or not. But by rule, if the ball is released on a try (a pass would be different) before the contact, then the basket counts if it goes in the basket; regardless of whether the foul is on the shooter or the defender. No team control during a try, so no team control foul. So if it's on the shooter and the offensive team is over the limit, the defender would indeed get to shoot the bonus.
