I hate to ask this question because I ought to know the answer but here goes: A1 goes up for a jump shot. As A1 returns to the floor (is clearly back on the ground) B1 fouls A1. Since A1 is back on the floor before contact is made I do not think A1 is an airborne shooter. However, the try is still in the air so is A1 considered to be in a continuous motion action? If the shot goes in it seems unfair to me that Team A gets two points and the ball (or a bonus if the team is in the bonus). What is the actual ruling in this case and how do you normally handle this in games?
By the way, I had my first association meeting of the season last weekend so I am starting to get excited for the upcoming high school season. I just got my new rule book and case book in the mail so it's right around the corner.
