bob,
Are you saying that you can't call a non-shooting common foul after the player has caught the ball?

Fed Rules. Team A behind by one point. Two-tenths of a second left on the clock. Ball is inbounded to A1 and caught with two hands. A1 attempts a try and is fouled immediately and before clock expires.
The debate is not over a try or a tap with less than three-tenths of second. That is understood. Is the shooter still protected on a try even though the try would be disallowed?
Bob J. would you please chime in on this one?

You can't ahve a "Shooting foul" on this play (given that A1 catches the ball).
NCAA says that the game is over and any foul other than I or F is ignored (4-67.5, AR 45). I don't recall a similar play in the FED case book (but I don't have it handy to check), but the ruling makes sense to me. Once A1 catches the ball, there's no way to have a try, so no "common foul" will interfere with normal offensive or defensive maneuvers. (A foul before A1 catches the ball could be a common foul.)
