I think I know the answer to this - just want to be sure. Player A is driving to the basket and shoots. The shot is blocked cleanly by player B - it's clearly not going to go into the basket - then player B's follow through after the block causes some contact (not severe) on player A's shooting arm. Since the shot ended as soon as it was clearly not going into the basket, I deemed the resulting contact as inadvertent, since it bore no advantage/disadvantage. Correct interpretation?
Along the same lines, same situation, but after the block, player B's momentum carries his body into Player A while player A was still in the air, plowing him over. Clearly a foul. Because the shot was blocked prior to the contact, therefore causing the shot attempt to end, I assume this would not be a foul against a shooter as the shot had ended at the block. Just a common foul with ball out of bounds or bonus shots. Correct?
