Personally, I never have much trouble with this one. To me, it's purely the judgement of the calling official whether the player has begun the motion of the try. I also think this rule should be applied on a case-by-case basis, as each play is unique, IMO.

Judgement, yes, but there's also a rule involved here that far too many don't understand. The issue is that many officials incorrectly call a legal attempt as "on the floor." They think that just because the ball hasn't been released, there's no shot. WRONG!

Tony,
I usually use the premise of:
If the shooter is on his last step-and-a-half, and clearly is not passing, we're shootin' "Two".
