I'm suprised at the discussion on this.

I thought it was pretty obvious.

An airborne shooter is an airborne shooter until they land. Period. If they get fouled before they land, the get 2 FTs (unless the shot is made).

While it is extremely unlikely to occur, there is no rule that says you can't have two airborne shooters at the same time.

Neither the firist try ending nor the 2nd try beginning changes the airborne shooter status of the first shooter.

Theoretically, you could have two (or more) independant shooting fouls occuring before the ball becomes dead.

In practice, I doubt it would ever happen since there is such a small time frame in which several events must occur in order for it to even be possible.

Even if it did, you could make the point that the 2nd contact was of no advantage since the ball was going to become dead due to the first foul.
