It does not ignore the rule, it goes against the interpretation for sure. And I do not know many officials that call a lot of interpretations as written either. When you show me the official that calls a foul on the ball handler/shooter and then calls another foul for a "charge" making it a false double foul, that will be a first as well. But that interpretation is also in the casebook but I have yet to see anyone be that technical. You pick the first foul. So to me if a player wants a shooting foul, act like you are shooting. It is that simple. And play #2 is not an obvious shot. Heck you cannot even see where the foul is honestly. I do not know I would have called a foul. The camera is so far away, I cannot tell what the player was doing. But that is me. That is a play that in a camp I would ask about and have the officials justify his call.
