Where does habitual shooting motion start? On a drive it seems it is when the dribble stops and the player picks up the ball. Or catches ball moving to basket. I believe it us supported by rule
6.7 COMMENT:
If an opponent fouls after A1 has started to throw for goal, A1 is permitted to complete the customary arm movement; and, if A1 is pivoting or stepping when A1 or a teammate is fouled, A1 may complete the usual foot or body movement in any activity, as long as A1 is still holding the ball.
Comment goes on to say if they dribble it ends the motion
Once they pick up the ball on a drive they have committed to pass or shoot. If thet did not pass they must be shooting...usual foot movement means the normal layup steps...
