But, if, as in (b), no shot is attempted, it seems to me the AR doesn't address the issue, and a non-shooting common foul could be assessed.

If A1 catches the ball and can't (by rule) shoot, there are no "normal offensive maneuvers" to be prevented, and, thus, no common foul.

If the foul is before the catch / tap it could be a common foul.

If the foul is during the tap (or on the airborne tapper), it could (would) be a shooting foul.

Sounds familiar.

There are no 'normal offensive maneuvers' in the sense that not trying to score has no value? Sounds sensible to me. I was being kind of literal about it . . .
