Airborne shooter vs act of shooting

It seems that some of the confusion and subsequent discussion on this play comes because the shooter is in the air when he/she looses control of the ball, and is considered to be an "airborne shooter" until he/she returns to the floor. If that is the focus, then logic may lead one to think that regaining control of the ball and shooting it is a completion of the play, and not a new play. Apparently, because of the foul, the attempt is considered to have ended, and the concept of the airborne shooter regaining sufficient control of the ball to try, again, is considered to be a new play/attempt (?)
I've seen that happen, when no foul was involved, and we all thought it was just a great play on the part of the shooter.
