Assuming, for the sake of discussion, that the play really could occur...

Airborne shooter, PC foul.

Basketball rules fundamental...

20. If the ball goes through the basket before or after a player-control foul, the goal shall not be counted.

Taken literally, this would mean that once a player control foul has been committed, that team could no longer score for the rest of the game. But we all know it is really talking only about the goal taken in conjugation with the PC foul.

In principle, It is retroactively killing the play to wipe the score since an illegal act was part of creating the score. As such, I assert that this basket wouldn't count either.
