I've never read the NBA rule, but several folks here have said the rule is no different. It may be applied differently, but that's a different issue.

All that said, if in a high school game a player is moving toward the goal, and has started to gather, even if there's another step involved after the foul the play should properly be ruled as a foul in the act of shooting.
