There is another situation I see pretty regularly that is real tricky. It usually happens on 3 point shots. As trail, I am watching and signalling the 3 pointer. The ball is in flight and then the defender moves in to block out the shooter(why he thinks he needs to block out a 3 point shooter I don't know.) Of course, if the shooter is still airborne when he is pushed out, you have a foul on the shot. But, if he has already returned to the floor after the release of the ball and then the push occurs, you simply have a push AFTER the shot.
Interestingly, I had THREE of these calls just tonight... a defender backing out the shooter (pushing) on a box-out (3-pt shooter) AFTER she returned to the floor. All were missed shots, but the definitely pushing fouls; and called as such.
