I say true also. This is the ultimate judgment call: Was he shooting or not? When the foul is on the defense, naturally this is important. A1 goes up to shoot, gets hammered, loses all rhythm of the shot, maybe even loses sight of the basket, so pushes the ball to a teammate instead. You award 2 shots, and coach B has issues. If the foul is on the offense, you can still use your judgment: Did he intend to shoot and then change his mind and pass?
But in this case the only difference would be which signal you make. Penalty is the same for team control or player control. Which brings up the question:
Why make a test question out of a play like this, when it doesn't matter?
Sorta like the question which tests whether or not you know the exact definition of a common foul.
