Let's change the scenario slightly. A1 begins his try. B1 bats the ball out of A1's hands before A1 releases the try. (So far, it's the same.) But suppose that instead of directing the ball toward the backcourt, B1's bat sends the ball toward A's goal. The ball is in flight. The horn sounds, ending the period. The ball enters the basket. You gonna count it?
If you say that the basket is good, then you think that A1 released a try for goal, meaning that team control ended. In that case, you also have to say that there would be no backcourt violation in the original play.
If you wave off the basket, then you obviously think that A1 did not release a try for goal. In that case, you also have to say that you would call the backcourt violation.
[/B][/QUOTE]Count the basket.If the defensive player fouls the shooter before the ball leaves the hand(but after the try is started),do you cancel the basket? Nope-continous motion applies-which also means there was an accompanying loss of team control because of the shot.What's really different than the defender fouling before the ball leaves the shooter's hands,or the defending knocking the ball out of the shooter's hands,and it still goes in?Take a look at casebook play 6.7.7,Chuck.That's basically what it says,I think.
