Bob:
I see where you could read the play I put in as the release coming after the foul. I agree with you in that situation, the ball is dead immediately since continuous motion only applies when a foul is committed by an opponent of the player trying for goal (Rule 6-7, exceptions (3)). I was trying to describe a play where the actions happened simultaneously (sorry for the confusion). As for the original post (ball released and then the foul), I believe the basket counts since this is not a PC situation. Award the basket, penalize A1 appropriately, B shoots free throws and gets the ball. Agree/Disagree?
