Don't know details of NCAA-M rules, but in NFHS, doesn't the shot end when the shooter lands? Thus a foul after the shot is over would be a common (not shooting foul). Am I misguided, or is the NCAA rule different???
If someone can post a video, it was at about 8:30 in the second half, on ESPN-U.

The reality is that sometimes the contact is so close that the expectation could be to go with a shooting foul. I had a game recently with 2 fouls AFTER the shot, that both went to the bonus.
Sometimes you get caught off guard and go with a shooting foul.
The NCAA rule is the same.
