My decision is not made until that player completes their entire motion. If they decide at the last minute to pass the ball away on what looked like a try, I will not award shots (unless we are in the bonus). I agree that often times officials do not award shots enough and make many fouls common fouls instead of shooting fouls. But if a player does not complete their motion to the basket, why give them shots when they did not make it look like they were shooting in the end? I can always go to a coach when he complains and say, "Why did he pass the ball?"

Peace
