1. Is this the same in HS?
2. Could multiple fouls be called here, If he gets fouled on the second shot? Would you still just shoot two fts or ignore one of the fouls?
Those NCAA officials got it right. The try ended and a new one started. Continuous motion doesn't apply to a new try for goal. The ruling is the same at the NFHS level.

A false multiple foul certainly could be called in this case as the player is still an airborne shooter until he returns to the floor. However, I believe that most officials would ignore a second foul in such a situation. I'd even venture to say that would still be true even if the contact was severe, but not enough to deem intentional or flagrant. Not saying that that is the right thing to do by rule, but it does seem to be the commonly accepted practice.
