First of all, the shooter being airborne has nothing to do with the ball being live or not. The airborne shooter provision just means that fouls on or by the airborne shooter while the ball is dead (e.g. made basket) are treated as though the ball were live.

Ralph, you are correct that a T shouldn't have been called (no matter if the ball was live or dead). You can see this from the definitions of a personal (4-19-1) and a technical (4-19-5) foul.

Gary, this can't be a multiple foul since the fouls weren't at approximately the same time. You could, in theory, call a "false multiple foul". This would mean that each foul would carry its own penalty...give the shooter 4 shots (3 shots if the ball went in) and the ball OOB at the spot nearest the intentional foul. (See Case 4.19.11)

However, i agree that just one intentional personal foul would have been the best call...
