It's also true if a foul is committed against the shooter. They just want to make sure you realize that continuous motion applies on any defensive foul once the shooter's motion has started.
Right, and this is because this was a "2004-05 Major Editorial Change[s]."

"4-11-1 Clarified that continuous motion applies to a try or tap for a field goal and free throws, when there is a foul by any defensive player, not just a defensive foul on the shooter."


Apparently, people were not calling this correctly.
Nevadaref,

What would you do if, during a free throw, A1 has started his shooting motion B1 fouls A2. You blow the whistle for the foul and A1 stops before he/she releases the ball. Would you give A1 another attempt?
Yes (6.7 B in the casebook.)

In my many years around basketball, however, I have never seen a foul called at this point during a FT.
Dexter, That case book play is not relevant. The question posed asks about an opponent fouling during a FT. In the case book play that you cited the foul is committed by a teammate.

To answer David M's question, I would rule that the FT was never attempted and therefore A1 is still entitled to the try. I would report the foul, clear the lane, award the proper FTs, then administer the throw-in to Team A or award A2 bonus FTs as the penalty for B1's foul.
