Act of Shooting
A.R. 120. A1 is dribbling the ball and attempts to turn the corner at the top of the key to drive down the lane. B1 fouls A1 as A1 picks up his dribble. A1 then steps with his right foot and then pushes off with his left foot before beginning to raise his arm(s) or hand(s) to release the ball for a layup. The try is successful.
RULING: The foul occurred before the act of shooting began. Therefore, the goal should not count. Charge B1 with a personal foul and shoot appropriate free throws if Team A is in the bonus. The language of 5-1.10, “The try starts when the player begins the motion that normally precedes the release of the ball,” refers to the hand(s) or arm(s) in preparing to release the ball on a try for goal. Examples of the act of shooting motion include raising the ball with the hand(s) and or arm(s) to shoot a layup or jump shot or the downward motion of the hand(s) or arm(s) in completing a dunk or alley-oop play. This act of shooting motion does not include picking up the dribble, catching (gathering) the ball, or advancing on the court with one or both feet. (Rule 5-1.10 and 4-8.1)

NCAAW AR120 is on the same tiopic, but is slighlty different:
A.R. 120. A1 is dribbling the ball and while gathering the ball to end the
dribble, is fouled by B1 and the official rules a foul. After the whistle, A1 begins
the habitual motion which precedes the release of the ball on a try.
RULING: A1’s foul is not a shooting foul and when committed prior
to the bonus being in effect, Team A is awarded the ball for a throw-in
using the procedures in Rule 7-3.2. When the bonus is in effect, A1 is
awarded two free throws. Continuous motion does not apply when a
player is fouled while ending a dribble or securing control of the ball
in her hand(s).
(Rule 5-1.10, 7-3.2, and 8-3.1)
