Oh, That Shot

Thus the question.
Sorry, I construed your reference to "set shot" in the Bob Cousy sense, where the shooter never leaves the floor. Your clarification helps me now to understand that you're referring to when the player launches the shot while in the process of jumping.

In that case,disregard my point "A)".

Thanx for the clarification.

Is it correct that the classic shot seen, for instance, in girls JV ball has the player jumping and then releasing the ball while a little bit in the air? If so, she's an airborne shooter until returning to the floor. If the release is before leaving the floor, then the act of shooting ends prior to any airborne status.

Right?
