For the jump shot, if I see that the player has landed then, a tenth of a second later, B2 bumps into A I see that as a shooting foul. If there is a shot, land, then more of a delay then I'll call a non-shooting foul.

There is no other way that I can say this--stop making up your own rule and call this play correctly!
4-41-1
The act of shooting begins simultaneously with the start of the try or tap and ends when the ball is clearly in flight,
and includes the airborne shooter.
4.1.1 SITUATION:
A1 is high in the air on a jump shot in the lane. A1 releases the ball on a try and is then fouled by B1 who has also jumped in an unsuccessful attempt to block the shot. A1's try is: (a) successful; or (b) unsuccessful.
RULING: A1 is an airborne shooter when the ball is released
until one foot returns to the floor. An airborne shooter is in the act of shooting. B1 has fouled A1 in the act of shooting. A1 is awarded one free throw in (a), and two in (b). (4-41-1)
4.41.1 SITUATION:
B1 commits a common foul by holding A1 during a field-goal try,
but after A1 has completed the act of shooting. The foul occurs before the bonus rule applies. The attempt is: (a) successful; or (b) unsuccessful.
RULING: A personal foul is charged to B1 in both (a) and (b), but no free throw is awarded to A1 in either case. In both (a) and (b), the ball is awarded to Team A at the spot out of bounds nearest where the foul occurred. (7-5-4a)
