do you "a" count the bucket for continous motion and shoot 1? or "b" do you not count the bucket and shoot 2 for fouling while in the act of shooting, but cancel that bucket since it wasn't released before the horn sounded?
and if "b", what is the reason you tell the coach of Team A who would go nuts for not counting the bucket?

John,
This came up about four days ago, due to a recent NCAA game between Indiana and Purdue. The NCAA ruling given by the Big Ten Conference is the same as the NFHS method, since they don't go into lag time. Here is a clip from that thread:
quote:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After reviewing the courtside television monitors, the three-man officiating crew of Gene Monje, Tom O'Neill and Glenn Mayborg determined that Landry's shot came after the clock expired, but the foul came before. The officials gave Landry continuation on the layup, which tied the score at 63. They then gave Landry a foul shot with no time remaining, which he missed.
A Big Ten statement Tuesday said in part:
"While the foul was correctly called before time expired, the Conference office's weekly review process showed the ball was still in the hand of the Purdue shooter at the expiration of the game clock. According to the 2005 NCAA Basketball Rules and Interpretations (Rule 2-5.2.b, Rule 5-7.2.b, Rule 6-6.2), the Purdue player should have been granted two free throws with no time on the clock and the field goal should not have counted."
