Foul in the act of shooting, or not

6.7 Situation D is at the top of page 54 in the 2015-16 NFHS Casebook.

6.7 SITUATION D:
A1 has started a try for a goal (is in the act of shooting), but the ball is not yet in flight when the official blows the whistle for B2 fouling A2. A1's try is successful.
RULING: Score the goal by A1. If Team A is in the bonus, A2 will shoot free throws. If not, Team A will have a designated spot throw-in nearest to where the foul occurred.
COMMENT: The foul by the defense need not be on the player in the act of shooting for continuous motion principles to apply. (6-7 Exception c)

The rest of your post inquires about how this would be administered under NBA rules. The above is correct for both NFHS and NCAA.

@Nevada, Thank you for finding the page for me in the case book and further showing me that I truly am blind (sarcastic). The coaches must be right.
