B3's contact came before the last dribble, and the ref allows play to continue through to the shot because B3 did not in any way affect the shot. At that point, there is no foul on B3. If B4 doesn't enter the play, you have allowed an unobstructed layup and also decided the contact was incidental. B4 coming across caused the foul that needed to be called, the foul must either be 2 shot shooting foul or INT (or Flagrant), depending on whether B4 made a play on the ball and the severity of te contact.

Coach,
What you say is correct, but I cheat.
If B4 isn't there and the basket is missed, I am gonna call the intentional, before the shot, and I will punish because the grab was unsporting and a cheap attmept to stop a layup.
If B4 isn't there and the basket is made, then my thought is incidental, and I will not reward the unsporting and cheap attempt.
So, no B4 miss... I saw foul before the shot.
And no B4 make... I didn't see enough to call.
I really dislike any unsporting act.
With B4 coming into the play, I still get to chose what I saw and when I saw it. And you know, we may not have seen exactly the same play, yo?
