The original video was an NCAA game.

Of course, being a journeyman high school basketball official, I know more about Metaphysics and Epistemology than I do about NCAA basketball rules.

This is true. My apologies.

NCAAM
Rule 5 Art 10
The try starts when the player begins the motion that normally precedes the release of the ball on a try. The ball does not need to leave the player's hand. the arm might be held so that the player cannot throw; however, he may be making an attempt.

Taking a step after the foul then attempting a shot is clearly not a motion preceding the release of the ball on a try. There have also been a video or 2 released showing this exact type of play and the required adjudication is not a shooting foul.
