What caused him to change the direction in which he was moving? (Answer: the foul by the defender).

Once the offensive player starts his habitual shooting motion, nowhere in the rule does it specify a direction or location on the court that the offensive player must be in to be considered "in the act of shooting" (see the 3 shots awarded the Charlotte player vs Richmond during the A10 Conference Tournament).
