Good point, but I thought we were discussing plays to the basket. There's usually no doubt that FTs are coming when a shooter is fouled on a catch & shoot situation.
My point to the OP was that the players arms moving up has nothing to do with the habitual shooting motion. I know a TON of guys who believe this is true
