I can agree with no foul (due to the ball already being gone) but 24 had a forearm in the upper chest area of the would be shooter. He may have jumped vertically and his other hand may have been straight up but the left arm was not in a legal position and would have easily interfered with the ability to take the shot. If he had maintained the ball to that point, I would definitely have a foul on 24.
