Judgment, judgment, judgment.

what I am not sure is what if the contact does occur on shooter's shielding arm, is shooter's act legal?

Thanks.
It would only be a foul if there is contact, and you believe the shooter gained and advantage from using their arm. Just because their is contact with the shooter's arm, does not make a foul automatic. But this is why they call it "judgment."

Peace
