Based on 4-1-1, A1 never became an airborne shooter.
I appreciate the discussion. Thanks to all who have contributed.

I think you're right with regard to the OP.
If, however, a player leaves the floor in an apparent attempt to shoot and gets stripped of the ball before he releases the try, then I think he was an airborne shooter briefly. Not that it matters, though. If he'd been fouled before the ball was stripped, this discussion wouldn't have happened.
