Made Shot, No Foul. Missed Shot, Foul.

I just hate a late whistle on an And-1. I've seen officials blowing after the ball is already going through the hoop.

I'll agree with this one. Unless a person is put into the bleachers, I'm not calling it if I waited that long -- and then I shouldn't have waited that long.

If that is their normal delay, but the shot happens to be that close the basket, I'm not so sure it is a problem. I'm not that slow, but if such an official is consistent with the timing of all of their other calls, I don't think there is a problem.

+1. By the way, Rich, did you get the PM I sent you a while ago?

Not sure why but I feel compelled to add to this thread for some reason. I'm all about seeing the whole play, but there are some fouls that are just clobbers that are easy to call immediately. And if a skilled player manages to fight through it and score anyway, then all power to them.

The other type of foul where you get a few and-1s is mid- and long-range jumpers. Either the arm/elbow gets hit, or the airborne shooter gets interfered with and you blow the whistle to protect said shooter. In both cases you can't really wait to see if the basket goes in because the shot is in the air too long; by the time you see the result, your whistle would be too late to have any credibility.
