An interpretation is only "old" if it's been superceded, which this one has not.
Regarding only rookies making this call, I saw this called a shooting foul in the Univ of Texas game just last week. Coach complained a little, but it appeared to me to be easily the right call. Guy was going up for a shot, was fouled pretty hard from about a 135 degree angle, and as he was falling saw a teammate at the 3 pt arc, and sort of shoved it over there.
And this is certainly not the ONLY time I'd seen a shooting foul called when no shot managed to get out of the shooter's hands.
