I guess it's like pornography...
I can't define it, but I know it when I see it. If a coach or observer asked why it is/was a shooting foul, my response would be "in my judgment the player had started his shooting motion." Not "the" shooting motion, but "his" shooting motion. See 4-41-3... "the try starts when the player begins the motion which habitually precedes the release of the ball." I suppose "habitually" could be based on a general idea of how a shot is attempted, and not for that particular shooter. I don't know, so all I can do is make the call based on my judgment. Just another reason why our jobs can be so difficult. And until the NFHS gets more specific with their definition of shooting motion we're stuck with leaving ourselves open to ridicule and second-guessing. |

I just think we have historically taken away more shots than we should and these video examples have helped me do a better job in this area. Peace

Great Minds Think Alike ...
And on a high school level, our local interpreter has basically expressed the same sentiment.

Three thoughts come to my mind (a dangerous place to linger) as I ponder the discussion regarding the issue proposed by the OP:
1) "Upward motion" is no longer relevant--not anymore at least from what I've heard regarding NCAAM and never was in NFHS. Right? 2) I'm still contemplating a point I brought up several years ago, that what we're really discussing here isn't "continuous motion", but "act of shooting." I don't expect anyone to care about what I might or might not consider the difference, but I'm trying for my own self to determine if that approach lends clarity to the issue of when the act of shooting began. 3) The "gather", if that term is used, is simply an attempt to make concrete in the mind an action in the act of shooting that otherwise might remain abstract and unreal. Critics of the use of that term could be challenged to come up with another word to make this abstract concept a concrete benchmark in as effective a way. I'm open for other words to do it. I thank the original poster for this opportunity to think today.

You (probably) have to gather before you can begin the try, but just because you gather doesn't mean you have started the try.
And, just because historically too many have been "waved off" doesn't mean that all benefit of the doubt should go to the offense. |

AR 111 NCAA men and rules require arms to be going up…raising the ball. "This act of shooting motion does not include picking up the dribble, catching (gathering) the ball or advancing on the court with one or both feet." |

Well in NF Rules the gather is only used as a line of demarcation. Outside of that we have not specific reference to when we start the habitual motion. But in college (Men's') they want this upward motion standard. I think a lot of officials try not to split hairs.

This one looks like the official is letting the offensive player play through some initial contact, but then calls the continued contact on the arm and judges it to be on the shot. I would count this basket 100/100. And 95/100 times the opposing coach would make some reference to the NBA.

NCAA-M: In regular speed I thought it was clearly before the act of shooting (arms in the upward motion), however the last view in slow motion, shows #15 with his hand on the ball and then taking it off and striking the arm as the shooter is attempting to rise his arms to shoot. I actually really like that this was counted (again, using NCAA-M) based on the officials view. I wouldn't argue either way, but I agree/side with the official on this.

Our association wants shots if the player has gathere the ball. So unless the player does something other than shoot after te foul, you better be administering free throws. (NFHS)
It'd s good starting point but I don't think it should be an absolute. |

But to me you cannot start the motion until you gather or we are splitting hairs.
A player can shoot without gathering... but in this particular "running back move" he is/has to gather first, since he's trying to cover so much ground. I do like "his shooting motion" better. It doesn't limit the official? In this video, I'd say this player is in his "get to the rim" motion and not yet in the "act of shooting" motion. Gathering is part of the attack and could even lead to a pass or more likely: drawing a foul. The shot isn't always the goal of a gather. "Gather" seems to give too much credit to the ball handler and even limits the official in my opinion. |
