Given your explanation that the entire motion, beginning before the foul, is "the act of shooting" ... if the player were to jump, get fouled, land, wait 2 seconds, and then shoot ... in your opinion, would this still be in the act of shooting?

What if said player went up, got fouled, landed ... and then heard the whistle and didn't do anything at all --- still in the act of shooting?

Absolutely NOT!! That is not continuous motion. I am appalled at how few people do not understand the essence of the Continuous Motion Rule.

It is to damn late for me to get into it tonight.

Good night all!
