We got into this on the weekend too.
A1 went hard at help defender along the baseline, should have been trapped but the help defender opened up to avoid an impact so A1 gathered and stepped into the space being held by arms between the two defenders. There is loads of contact easy foul call, however A1 postion behind the backboard and shooting motion made no chance that the shot was going to get to the rim without hitting the back of the board let alone having a chance to get to rim and go in.
She clearly went up trying to draw a foul and did. If defense had let her go the shot would have been a violation. So she may be in a shooting motion but reality is there may not actually be a legitimate attempt at goal being made. Contact stopped shot from going up though so we'll never know.
We sent her to line and B coach was unhappy but understood.
