If there is a jump shot then land(delay)then hit, then yes on the floor but I'm talking about these near simultaneous plays when the offensive player lands then contact. Those plays along with layups are in my opinion shooting fouls. I've simply seen all these plays called as shooting as they should. If I've seen differently I'd call it but I haven't.
exhausted this one, see you all in Hawaii.

And you're still wrong. Once the player gets a foot down, it is NOT a shooting foul. It might be a foul, but not a shooting foul. Otherwise, you're going down a slippery slope...how much delay before it wouldn't be a shooting foul? Stick with the absolute demarcations that are clearly defined in the book and stop making stuff up and you'll do a lot better.
