Exactly. If gathering the ball and starting your layup motion isn't part of the habitual shooting motion I don't know what is. "Habitual"=habit=what you always do; that is the motion that you do when you perform a layup/runner, therefore it is part of your habitual shooting motion.
The tough one is when the foul occurs on the rebound and the offensive rebounder takes the ball strait back up and scores. I've learned the hard way to have a patient whistle on that one. I hate having to reward the D by wipeing an easy bucket for the O and making them take it out of bounds. But I can't count the bucket and give them one because they weren't fouled on the shot.
