You should consult 4-11-2 more closely because you have this backwards.
According to the rule the player is only entitled to complete his customary foot and arm movement
IF he has already started his throwing motion prior to being fouled.
You seem to advocate that the player is in the act of shooting simply because he has started his customary footwork before eventually throwing for goal. That is not true.
Furthermore, ending the dribble is not the beginning of a field goal attempt. It is merely an action which precedes it. The start of a FG attempt is some kind of throwing motion as stated in the rules.
