Is there a case for this sit?
A1 shoots a 3-point attempt and while A1 is airborn, B1 pushes A2 into A1 causing A1 to fall to the floor. I called a foul on B1 for the push on A2 and awarded the ball OOB nearest the spot of the foul. Coach A wanted to know why it wasn't a shooting foul since the foul obviously affected his shooter. I didn't have an answer, other than that the contact by B1 was on A2 and not on A1, but I really see the coaches point. Any advice?
