Just follow the rule.

It actually is relevant - to a point - because we're told to let plays start, develop and finish. If the Louisville player doesn't catch the ball or can't control it while he's up there then put a whistle on the contact prior to the shot attempt. He caught the ball so go to the next step: can he shoot it? Yes, go to the next step: Was he hit, displaced or not allowed to land safely? Yes. Put a whistle on that. In other words, the Louisville player's offensive movement wasn't hindered until he was shooting the ball.
