When you whistled the foul, before he shot the ball, what did you think he was going to do? If he goes up, gets fouled and returns to the floor, are you going to give him 2 shots? If so, why? How could you know what he was thinking?
A couple of years ago, the rule was that a player who passed the ball from behind the 3 point arc, only to have the ball go in the basket, was only credited with 2 points. It wasn't a try. Someone asked, "How can you tell if it's a try?" My response, "If my hand goes up, to signal a 3, it's a try.
My point was that your first instinct is what you go with. If I whistle a foul and think the kid is going to shoot and then he passes because he was fouled, we're shooting 2.
Hell, we have enough problems not giving kids continuation as it is. It's the single most missed call in the game, "On the floor!"
