Nevada, just to clear things up a little. You have A1, who is a strong player, driving to the basket and B1 is making contact. If the contact remains the same from the dribble, before the shot, and all the way up to the shot, would you call a foul when the contact forces A1 to miss the shot? If so, would you say it was on the floor because the foul started before the shot or would you give A1 two shots because he was shooting when you blew your whistle?
I still haven't seen this play but my point is a foul is a foul when we call it. There are many time when the foul isn't called when the foul actually starts and we go by what was happening when we blow the whistle, not what was happening when the contact began. I hope I'm being clear. With this thinking in mind, did the whistle occur after the try began?
