We got into a similar situation though less dynamic in a varsity girls game the other night. Team B was "boxing out" shooters hard. Had 3-4 fouls before it stopped. Big displacement vs unprotected players. Never got to an intentional or unsportsmanlike level but needed to be cleaned up.
Coach B got vocal with us when one was called a shooting foul. Her claim was that Player A was a set shooter so since she wasn't airborne once she's released the ball her act of shooting is done so a box out can't be a shooting foul. My partner said he felt like she was in the act when she got hit.
Does create that interesting grey area jump or no jump in the time before the shooter is on balance and ready/expecting contact.
