Here is what the NBA officials manual says on continuation:
Occurs when a player is clearly driving to the basket and after gathering the ball,[or ending the dribble] is fouled while attempting to complete this movement, he is to be rewarded with two shots if there is a miss of his shot.
If he can continue his move while being fouled after the gather and score a goal in the process, the goal is scored and a one additional free throw shot attempt is awarded to him.
In the NBA a player can be fouled as he has gathered the ball on a jump stop and while in the air coming down for the jump stop get fouled and then finish to the hoop. I don't think anybody in HS and college would let them do that.
This is what I mean by the upward shooting motion. If this kid in HS gets fouled after he has gathered the ball and is still on his right foot then proceeds to step with the left and finish the hoop, I believe by high school rule you cannot award this basket.
