This whole thing is becoming much more complicated then it needs to be. I think if you judged the player to be shooting the ball when they were fouled the rule book supports you sending the player to the line. If you are not sure what they were doing in the air/ on the ground with the ball when they were fouled you make the best judgement you can based on whatever information you can before, during and even after the whistle.

Here's the hard sell for me on giving player two shots:

Player jumps up to shoot and is fouled by primary defender while shooting. Gets two shots.

Player jumps up to shoot and is not fouled by primary defender while shooting. Gets his shot off. No call.

Player jumps up to shoot and is not fouled by primary defender, see's secondary shot blocker and passes the ball. Play on no call.

Player jump up to shoot and is fouled by primary defender, see's the secondary shot blocker and passes the ball. Foul called. Two shots?!?

I don't think this can be automatic and must depend on when the foul was called and what the officials see/judge. Can't always be a shooting foul, can't always be a non-shooting foul. More information here to try to make the right call can't hurt but thats why its a judgement call.
