Rule No. 4-Definitions
Section X—Field Goal Attempt
A field goal attempt is a player’s attempt to shoot the ball into his basket for a field goal. The act of shooting starts when, in the official’s judgment, the player has started his shooting motion and continues until the shooting motion ceases and he returns to a normal floor position.
Which usually means the act of shooting hasn't ended until at least three fist pumps on said player's chest, a point upwards and then both hands pointing at themself.
