Any tips to determine at what exact moment does the continuous motion of the shot end?
When I am in "button hook" position on the opposite side of the shot, I seem to no call this a lot, but a lot of officials seem to call it in the act of shooting.
Might the trail at half court, but on the side of the play have a better view of this play?

thanks for sharing your thoughts

Has the shooter landed?
How much contact occurred?
Did shooter initiate contact?
Which player was in favorable position?
