Continuous Motion: BillyMac This Thread Is For You, So Que Up Your Memes!

I am a member of Referee Magazine Facebook Group, and from time-to-time articles that have previously appeared in Referee Magazine are published in the FB Group.

One such article was published very early this morning and it was a very well written article regarding Continuous Motion. Naturally, the author talked about how one should not use the phrase: "On the floor!", but that one should use "two shots" or "going up". "Going up!": And naturally I could not resist responding how one should not say: "Going up!"

My comment was short (me give a short comment, ) and sweet. I said that the number of free throws should be used and not "going up". Sure enough my comment solicited a solitary (so far) reply and the one word question: "Why?"

I gave the following example (Billy, get ready to find a meme for me): A1 is shooting a Set Shot () and is fouled before releasing the Ball. A1 is fouled in the Act of Shooting but is not "going up".
