I fully understand what you are saying, but be careful with the actual language, and the ability of the mutantducky to correctly interpret that language.

In the case of an airborne shooter, we judge fouls on the impact of the contact to affect the shot, but we must also protect the shooter. If illegal contact is made after the shot is released, and before the shooter returns to the floor, we still interpret the shooter to be in the act of shooting, and penalize the defense by awarding the shooter two free throws.
