So as you apply it, what concludes the shooting motion?
The ball is released...the shooter follow thru...etc.
At what point does the contact change from a shooting foul to a normal personal foul?

The act of shooting ends when both the shot has left the hand AND the shooter has returned to the floor.

In the case of a set shot, it is not really any different. When the ball has left the hand and the shooter is on the floor, the act of shooting is over. Since they never left the floor, the act ends when the shot ends when the try is released.

There really is nothing else to protect the shooter from with regards to the act of shooting. The "follow through" means absolutely nothing and contact in that part of a "shot" has absolutely NO effect on the shot despite some shooters insisting that it does.
