A1 pumps, B1 jumps to A1's pump fake, B1 comes down on A1 while A1 starts his "pump" again, but his feet never got up off the ground. Are we giving A1 2 shots? He darn sure wasn't going to pump fake B1 again was he? Like I said in my previous post, how do we know that A1 or the player pumping wasn't intending on shooting at that time of the foul? Especially while the player is in the lane or under the basket? Because in the initial post, that was the case (3-seconds or not)).

The second time that this player makes a move to come up is the start of his try. The first was a fake. If the contact occurs before he starts his second upward motion, then I am not awarding him FTs for being in the act of shooting.
There are no FTs for being in the act of faking!
