Still a shooter, just not an airborne shooter.

If "airborne shooter" really only applied to literally being in the air - most girls below the collegiate level wouldn't get many FT's for "jump shots" on that dreaded illegal block-out.
Unless we are forced to go to a monitor in high school - that foul by the shooter seems to create the very confusing false double foul:
Live ball, fouls by both teams, before the clock is started following the first.

Once the shot is released and the player is on the floor, the shooter is no longer a shooter. If it is a set shot, they cease to be a shooter on the release. Can't be an "airborne" shooter if not airborne.

Didn't we just have a long thread on this in which another poster had difficulty grasping that once an airborne shooter touches the floor the act of shooting is over and any foul is not a shooting foul? I believe that he also inquired about a set shot and was quoted the rule stating that the act of shooting ends when the try is clearly in flight (if no airborne shooter is involved).
I'll direct you to that thread for more info.
