No, I'm saying if he gets fouled and decides to pass the ball instead of attempt a shot, then I'm not giving him FT's. I consider the play as a whole, I don't try to guess what he was doing. I call what he actually did.
I am claiming that. Unlike you however,
I am not claiming any rules basis. Why do I need to provide a rules reference if I am not appealing to one? You are the one who countered that my
method of determining shooting versus passing
does not follow the rule. Thus, the burden to provide a rule reference lies with you and you alone
Thanks for that rule reference. As I thought, it is up to
my (sometimes poor)
judgement to determine whether a player is shooting or passing. My method for doing so involves seeing the play start, develop, and finish and making a judgement based on what the player actually does. I am sorry if my method perterbs you, but I cannot read a players mind as to what he wants to do. What he does is what I call.
