Fun With The Act Of Shooting …

Was player still in act of shooting when foul occurred? Had shooter returned to the floor before the foul was committed?

Two choices: The player was in the act of shooting when fouled. The player returned to the court and was not in the act of shooting.

My comment: The player was in the act of shooting when fouled. Tough call. The act of shooting begins with the start of the try for field goal and ends when the ball is clearly in flight, and includes the airborne shooter. The airborne shooter is considered to be in the act of shooting. White #3 was an airborne shooter and had not yet returned to the floor (barely, by milliseconds) when she was fouled by Black #15.
