yes, he is an airborne shooter until he returns to the floor. If the shot was blocked into the 3rd row the try is over but since the shooter has not yet returned to the floor the qtr is not over. Airborne shooter is considered to be in act of shooting.

Yes, that is what I'm saying.

Nobody has mentioned that if the shot had a chance to go in (meaning the ball is still live) the foul on the airborne shooter (assuming one was called) would result in one or two FTs (depending on if the try was good or not).

All that's been said is that if the try has a chance to go in the ball remains live, and therefore the foul can be called. However, the result of that foul has only been said to be the team's 5th foul... not that free throws could come into play.

Because in the OP the shooter had landed -- making it a common foul.

if you change the play, you change the results.

I'm sorry, I read it wrong. I read it as the shooter landing on the defender... not the other way around.
