If you're gong to take this route, remember that once the ball is released, it's too late to correct, count the basket. If the ball is only at the disposal of the free thrower, and hasn't yet been released, then then it's not too late to correct. Also, I don't believe that continuous motion applies here.
As kids, when crossing the street, we were taught to, "Stop, look, and listen". In this case, "Stop, look, and whistle".
(Note: The "listen" part of the advice above does not work with a Toyota Prius, something that I need to remember when I'm out running. Stupid, new fangled, electronic cars. Whatever happened to the expression, "Batteries not included"?)
