That's the way I read Exception 3 to Rule 6-7-7. Doesn't say anything about the foul having to be on the shooter, just an opponent of the shooter committing a foul and the shooting motion having previously begun.

You are miss reading this. It does say on the player who is shooting. [/B]
Sorry, Bart -- you're the one who is misreading this. The exception says "any opponent" -- that means that if anyone on the defense commits a foul after the shooting motion has started, the ball remains live. The shooter need not be the one who is fouled.

See, for example, 6.7D (yes, it's during a FT, but the concept is the same)
