So, Camron Rust's statement, "I've never seen a player shoot the ball on the way down in a jump stop", is not only true (he really has never seen this move), but it's also illegal? What's the NCAA infraction, illegal shot?

That player has already raised the ball as part of the shooting motion.

In NCAA-Men's a player who has gathered, but not yet performed an upward motion as part of the habitual shooting motion, will not get credited with a shooting foul.
