Simultaneous Foul... or not??

Since when does a loose ball on the ground make it dead after a 3 point attempt? Are you sure you're not confusing this with a FT Attempt?

I think he's trying to figure out whether the shooter is considered to be an "airborne shooter" and going from there.

When there was a foul on the shot, the ball remains live until the try is over.

That's true, otherwise you would hardly ever have an "and one". But I don't recall that rule applying to this case.

I'm avoiding a simultaneous, or multiple, foul as much as possible. I feel like we're talking ourselves into trouble (or at least an unnecessary lengthy explanation to the coaches) here.

We did bring coaches together, and both seemed satisfied with the decision. Of course White wanted the 3 FT, but calmed down after we explained our reasoning. Total conference time with the coaches was 15-20 seconds...

I am assuming that it isn't David Blaine shooting while doing his levitation trick or Neo shooting in the Matrix. Most of the time a person shooting a jump shot is going to land long before the ball hits the floor. If the shooter is no longer airborne, the ball becomes dead when it is certain that the shot is not going to be good. I think when the ball is bouncing on the floor, the shot isn't going to be good.
