he said that is exactly what happened but the reason it is not a shooting foul is because his arms were not like this(and puts his arms and hands in a set shot). i said ok, but he had already started his habitual motion to start a layup. nows the kicker--- he says your trying to embarass me, ive been reffing for 6 yrs(rec ball)and that will never be shooting foul!

I had just the opposite situation working with a guy from our neighboring state in a rec tournament. He called every foul that happened in the paint against a ball handler a shooting foul. It didn't matter if the kid was just standing there holding the ball. After the second call like that, I asked him what was going on and he said that all fouls against the ball handler in the paint were shooting fouls. I asked him if he was using a rule book from Mars, and he just shrugged. Man - it was tough explaining that to the coaches (who kept asking me), and I just told them to ask him instead, since it was his call. I know he got into some arguments with both coaches but, fortunately, there were no Ts.
