Contact after a shot is released

"returns back to the floor without contact" and one count more. The kind of boxing-out that's OK for rebounders in the paint is not reasonable by a defender 20 feet from the hoop. A shooter who just landed is ill-prepared to engage in sumo. Also, you'd like to be sure that, if the defender is running at the shooter, he or she doesn't run through the shooter. There's plenty of time to see if the shot goes in.
