Once the airborne shooter touches the floor, with even one foot, that player is no longer considered to be in the act of shooting. You have been incorrectly calling these shooting fouls and awarding FTs.
I'm curious about the level of ball that you officiate as you have a great deal to learn. The positive is that you keep coming to this forum and posting, so that you can and will learn from your mistakes and misunderstandings.
