of the ball and the player does not release the ball, how is it a shot then?

If it is habitual, then if he begins, he will finish otherwise it is not habitual.

The act of shooting goes from habitual movement to the release (or until the shooter lands).
In your sitch the player was fouled in the act of shooting.

The timing of the foul was anytime during the act, not after the (F)act.
