My feeling is that it depends on the level. At the lower levels, it happens infrequently and when it does occur a foul is not necessarily expected.

The NBA has evolved in terms of how it referees rip throughs, it used to be it was always a shooting foul. Now if the rip through goes side to side, the foul is called non-shooting. When I call a foul, I use the NBA philosophy since FIBA (in Canada) has never specified how it should be interpreted.
