Can someone help me out? Last night while watching a college game on TV, A1 shot a floater in the lane. The ball was released before contact, and A1 was called for a foul. In the past, the basket would count, and B1 would be awarded free throws if in the bonus. Did this rule change in the last couple of years? Is it an automatic wave-off and simply a team control foul on A1?

There hasn't been a change in that rule, as far as I know. If the shot is released before the contact, you penalize the foul and count the basket.
My experience is that unless the shot is obviously in the air, the official will wave it off. But by rule, if it's in the air, it should count.

It was a men's game...Texas Tech vs. Davidson last night. the lead official waved it off and went behind his head immediately, even though it was quite obvious the shot had been released well before the contact occurred.

I saw this play too. They simply got it wrong. The announcer babbled about how in the past this basket would have counted. He is the one who confused you. There has been no rule change and Davidson clearly got cheated out of 2 points.
