Foul-buzzer-shot
3-man mechanics. End of the third quarter.
Lancelot is the C, opposite the table. He's watching for the last shot.
Galahad is the L.
There's a shot. Lancelot toots his whistle and yells "No! No! No shot!"
Galahad has his fist up. He has a foul.
They come together and determine that what happened was foul-buzzer-release, in that order.
Here's where they disagreed. Lancelot says that the player was in the act of shooting, irrespective of whether the buzzer ended the shot. Therefore, we have two shots (and would have two shots even if the ball went in).
Galahad says that there was no shot, since the quarter ended (kinda like if a player was fouled shooting at the wrong hoop). Therefore, we have a non-shooting foul, and would shoot one-and-one (they were in the bonus...yeah, I know, it was a long night).
Much time has been spent looking for a caseplay...no such luck.
Who's right? And if you have a caseplay, it would be appreciated. Thanks.
