PLEASE ARGUE MY POINT ABOVE!! If you cannot, how do you have a leg to stand on??

He WAS "attempting to throw for a goal" but before the ball was released, he got bumped, or whacked, or plowed, and there he is in the air off balance with no time to think and believes that if he goes back to the floor with the ball he'll be called for a violation, so he just shanks it off to the side.
Does that answer your question?
|
No, cuz he heard the whistle, looked towards the elbow and totally passed it towards a teammate. It was a good pass that was caught be an opponent. Does that change your opinion??

No, it doesn't. The play was an attempt to throw for a goal. The fact that he was fouled doesn't negate the attempt.
