How about another one...
The night before A-1 driving strong to the basket mistimes when he should leave the floor(leaves to early) and comes up short on his finger role and the ball gets nothing but air. He lands, catches the ball and dribbles the ball. Again I have nothing. I saw a legitimate shot attempt and a rebound.
Thoughts?

Have you ever read anything that says "intentional misses" are different than "regular" misses?
Knowing the rule book is a good cure for second guessing. Don't let player reaction outweigh rule book study.
