Exactly...had a player driving the lane, in a game last week, the player dribbled then picked up the ball and got fouled before he could shoot.

I was T and had followed the dribbler, from my area, all the way. I called the foul and said 2 shots. As I was reporting the Coach said "That wasn't a shooting foul". I said, "Then why did he pick up the ball on the drive?"
The Coach said, "Maybe he was going to pass it."

...and that's why we get the big bucks.
