NFHS: A player-control foul includes not only a foul by the player holding or dribbling a live ball (definition of "player control"), but also an airborne shooter (does not technically have "player control") who has yet to return a foot to the floor. The onus is on the airborne shooter to avoid illegally contacting a legal defender from the moment he leaves the floor until returning one foot to the floor. No matter when the ball is released or goes through the basket, when a player-control foul occurs, there can be no goal.
NCAA-W: Same rule as NFHS, but be aware that there is also the restricted area and lower defensive box to deal with in regard to secondary defenders and drives to the bucket.
NCAA-M: A player-control foul on a try for goal can only occur before the ball is released; the airborne shooter (who by definition has released the ball) is not included in player-control foul restrictions. If the airborne shooter fouls and the ball goes through the net, the goal counts, and it's treated just like a foul while the ball is in flight on any try for goal.
