NBA: act of shooting ends when the shooting motion ceases and the player returns to a normal floor position.

Rule No. 4-Definitions
Section X—Field Goal Attempt
A field goal attempt is a player’s attempt to shoot the ball into his basket for a field goal. The act of shooting starts when, in the official’s judgment, the player has started his shooting motion and continues until the shooting motion ceases and he returns to a normal floor position.

Which usually means the act of shooting hasn't ended until at least three fist pumps on said player's chest, a point upwards and then both hands pointing at themself.

As always.........I would have to be there to see it.

But, I think we can all agree that there was only one person in that gym watching the shooter after the ball left their hand.

Maybe -- depending upon two factors:
1. Did the official actually SEE the foul -- or just the train wreck that followed?
and
2. Was the mother/father of the shooter in the stands?

Close. The father of the player who committed the foul.
