The reason it is even a point of discussion is high school and college officials call far too many fouls on the ground when they should be in the act of shooting. The rules regarding continuous motion for the NBA, NCAA and NFHS are virtually the same so they should be called the same.

The conference was too long, in my opinion, for a foul at this point in the game. It looks like there is a lot of doubt about what is going on. Also, I have no idea what the C would have to offer; when I see him I'm going to find a gentle way to ask him.
