Not at all.

I'm stating that the ball is dead when it passes through the basket, even if the shooter is still airborne.

That's why the "foul on or by an airborne shooter" is needed in the Personal Foul definition.

Huh? What was that? Did anybody else just see a little light turn on? :sheepish grin:
