Re: Van Exel

OK, no NBA guys here, so forget A, but:

B) Is there EVER a case where verticality is applied to the
shooter?

I have never seen a player control foul called at ANY
level when the shooter lunges into an air-born defender
outside his "vertical plane." What's the deal? Does verticality apply to shooters?

a full three+ feet in front of Van Exel and moving sideways to Van Exel's position. Van Exel lunges about three feet across the 3 pt arc, sticks his shoulder out (keeping his pivot behind the arc), makes contact, jumps off the front foot (which is again 3 feet inside the arc) throws up a prayer. Foul called on the defender, THREE foul shots rewarded (BTW, makes all three and it was a one point game with a few seconds left). Two questions:

A) Is the number of shots reviewable? I know they can change
a 2 to a 3 and vice-versa, how about the foul shots?

B) Is there EVER a case where verticality is applied to the
shooter?

Thanks!
