Continuous Motion, Or Not ???

If the ball has already been released, then count the basket if it goes in. However, if A1 is in the act of shooting, and the ball had not yet been released, and teammate A2 commits a foul, then continuous motion does not apply here, and the ball becomes dead, and will not count if it enters the basket. Continuous motion applies only by a foul by an opponent of the shooter. If A1 is in the act of shooting, and the ball has not yet been released, and opponent B2 commits a foul, then continuous motion does apply here, the ball remains alive, and it counts if it goes in.
