The NBA is entertainment. Offense is entertainment. The one NBA camp I attended the clinicians made it clear that once a player starts to gather it is assumed they are going to attempt to score unless completely evident otherwise. They would rather ERR on the side of shooting than not. Their threshold is COMPLETELY different from HS and NCAA.

It is? I have been told by former NBA officials or current NBA officials that the rule is applied pretty much the exact same way. The only issue is the NCAA started getting caught up in this "upward motion" language which basically is applied the same basic way as before but using different language.

The sentiment I received was from Scott Foster himself. The clinicians were all NBA officials.

OK, but I was told by a former NBA official in my area (I am not giving his name) said that the rule is applied the same way. This person does some evaluation for the NBA currently. This person currently works high school and college games and talks all the time about the application of these rules.
The person in our area that teaches the "gather" is this individual.

I have never been told that the rule in the NBA or shown the rule in the NBA is different.

Oh and the idea that only the NBA is entertainment makes no sense when you look at all the NCAA rules changes and all the accommodations for TV.

Even though NCAA and NFHS don't use the words "gather" (I don't think), the concept is pretty much the same.
