It got pretty heated and wanted to get your guys opinions.
What you need to look at is the definition of an airborne shooter.

An airborne shooter is either attempting to release a try, or has already released a try. If the horn sounds before the try is released, he's not an airborne shooter.

Had he been fouled before the horn and not released the shot until after, then you'd shoot two free throws.
