I'm really not getting this at all.

The rules and interpretations are identical with regards to awarding FTs under ncaa & fed. As JR said if you judge this the end of a dribble then no FTs, if you judge this the start of the shooting motion then FTs. This play cannot be discussed without seeing what happened. Has nothing to do with level or area, or at least it shouldn't.

And your second comment I just don't get - where is it written (or even unwritten) that a player must continue the shooting motion after the foul to get FTs? It's only a small step from here to believing the shot must be released to get FTs on a foul.
