If an opponent fouls after a player has started a try for goal, he/she is permitted to complete the customary arm movement, and if pivoting or stepping when fouled, may complete the usual foot or body movement in any activity while holding the ball. These priviledges are granted only when the usual throwing motion has started before the foul occurs and before the ball is in flight.
all well and good, but doesn't play a part in this play. The opponent didn't foul, the ballhandler did.....and really no one is trying to twist you up...you are like a windsock in a tornado LOL....
