What is the correct call and procedure? team a is not in penalty.
I would call holding foul, the shot does not count..... Not sure but I would award a1 two shots and call it a shooting foul.
this happened recently in a pick-up game and got me thinking...

Defintely 2 FTs, no basket.
Also if he held on that long, you could consider the foul to be intentional.

It begins on the gather (when A1 picks up his dribble and starts his motion for the layup in your example). If he then scores you count the basket and award 1 FT. The fact the pivot returned to ground should not even be a factor here. The foul occurred first.
Hope this helps.

So he could jump, be fouled, return to the floor, shoot, score and syou would count the basket?
WRONG.
Two FTs.
