Charging + count the basket

Unless, of course, the ball has already gone through the basket BEFORE the contact is made by the formerly airborne, former shooter. In this case, the contact is either ignored or deemed to be intentional and/or flagrant. Since the ball becomes dead after the basket, a personal foul cannot be called.....

Good point. Boy, the rules have sure become much more complicated since Dr. Naismith's original thirteen rules. I blame Mark T. DeNucci, Sr. for suggesting these complex changes to Dr. Naismith.

And cars are more complex than the horse and buggies that dominated the transportation industry when the good Dr. was inventing a game for gym class. Your point??

Technically, that's not true, but that is effectively the way that this specific situation is administered.

Actually, player control and team control both end when the try is released. Not all player control fouls are committed by players who are in control of the ball. Many are committed by airborne shooters. Common fouls by airborne shooters are included in the player control foul rule.

I wouldn't want you to think that player control really continues after the release of a try because if a teammate of the shooter were to foul while the player was an airborne shooter, you would incorrectly conclude that this would be a team control foul.
