MTD,
Perhaps you and some others can shed some light on this situation for me. The case book plays starting with 6.7 deal with continuous motion. I am particulary curious about 6.7.5 part c.
It appears that a whistle blown for a personal or technical foul during the free throwing motion does not cause the ball to become dead (6.7 Sit C pg. 49), but if the whistle is blown inadvertently during this same time period, the ball becomes dead immediately.
Why is this? It seems inconsistent to me. Shouldn't the sounding of the whistle be treated the same in both instances?
