I agree I do need to better undestand the correctable error rule and what it applies to.

I dont mind adding it to the list. It is certainly something of major significance that I might have to deal with. Like a personal foul during a dead ball that my buddy had tonite. I want to check that in the rule book. He called the T. He and I are going to read the rule and talk about it.

Its midnight, I will answer the defensive foul question tomorrow, but I think I know most of it. If defensive foul on peson off ball (not shooter) new rule clarification means the airborne shooter rule/continuous motion applies if a foul by the defense even if by a defender not on the shooter.

So....

Presuming foul by defensive player B2 on opponent A2 while A1 is shooting (and that no one is fouling A1, the shooter):

Before continuous motion, basket made: No shot, COMMON foul on B2, ball out of bounds unless bonus.
Before continuous motion, miss: same.

During CM, basket is made: Basket counts, call a COMMON foul on B2 (because not on the shooter), no FTs unless bonus.
During CM, basket is missed: No basket (obviously), call a COMMON foul on B2, no FTs unless bonus.

I dont know what you mean as the difference between "during CM" and "after CM starts". If its all during CM, then see above. If you mean the foul by B2 happens after the continuous motion has been completed, then it would be:

After CM completed, basket is made: The shot goes in and counts, now the ball is dead because of the made field goal. If the foul is before the ball is live again, the foul on B2 could now be a T (if intentional or flagrant during a dead ball) and it is 2 and the ball for A. If not enough for a T, and the ball is dead, then the contact is ignored I think. (is that right?)
After CM completed, shot is missed: Then the foul is probably during rebounding action and it is just a personal on B2 and no FTs unless bonus.

Ball to A in all instances.

I dont get what you mean by with or without buzzer. Sorry

That was hard but really useful. I did it without the book so please be kind if I am wrong.

How did I do?

No wonder you're a lawyer, and I bet you're a good one, too. Looks pretty good to me, but I may be wrong about one or two of the details. "With or without the buzzer" means a last second shot where time expires somewhere in the process of the continuous motion/off-ball foul/made or missed shot.
