You absolutely can have a shooter without him/her being airborne. |
You know...you have a VERY valid point...(I think OP may have been talking about a set shooter's try ending though...
I agree with the motion part of your post Scrapper....Take the post player who in all reality gives a pump fake to get the guard off the floor and gets heavy contact. Let's say I didn't just tell you it was a pump fake and he really intended to shoot the ball but the contact was such that he couldn't get the shot off....You have to be going shooting foul b/c his motion before the release (even though it was a pump fake) must be judged as such...shooting motion, even though he's on the floor
