When does the try really end?

A1 jumps into the air to try for goal. B1 has obtained a legal guarding position on the floor prior to A1 going airborne.

The ball has left A5's hand on the tap BEFORE A1 crashes into B1 prior to returning to the floor.

How does one handle that scenario?

Yikes. I suppose one view would be a personal foul and the basket counts. no team control. Try ended. Airborne player is no longer an airborne shooter.
