Nope for FOULING a FREE THROW shooter. That is supposed to be "an unhindered try for goal." A foul is illegal contact which certainly hinders a player's movement.
Boxing out is legal action which should never be penalized.

However, the player is certainly an airborne shooter as that rule 4-1-1 does state "on a try for a goal." It does not specify "field" goal.
Agree that s/he is an airborne shooter. Not sure why it matters. Since it wasn't a 2- or 3-point attempt, it's not a "shooting foul" (an undefined term -- but I mean the peanlty is not Pentaly 2 or 5 in teh Penatlies Summary),

So, it's "just" a common foul -- ball OOB or bonus FTs.

I can live with the ruling. It seems reasonable to me. I would prefer the NFHS to add a part c to number 5 in the penalty section for Rule 10 or a Case Book ruling for this situation, but even if this has to fall under 2-3 what you write makes good sense.

I guess we're back to "always listen to bob." :)
