I have seen it called a few times.

In my HS school games I have not seen this much to the extent that a PC was warranted but I have seen a few flops with extending the leg and flopping to make it look like a foul on the defender.
Yes, contact on the jump shot is a POE this year...including the shooter creating contact by extending his leg. In fact, I believe the league has been trying to crack down on this the past couple of years, and I've definitely seen more no-call or offensive fouls call on these type of plays.
