I'm happy to say he got over that stutter for HS ball, so no more concern there. It always made me nervous.

If his motion was natural then it really should not be a violation. I remember a player that I played against had a funky motion that he would dip down and then shoot. It was his every game motion and we were told by our coach to just wait for his motion to complete. I do not recall him ever being called for a violation. But again it is one of those things you have to see to know how natural it looks.
