Before you stand by your most recent statement I would suggest that you review the plays that I posted because legal foot work prior to the release of the shot does matter.

The throwing motion has to start first. Legal footwork may matter to decide if the player travels but it means nothing, absolutely nothing, if the throwing motion hasn't started as to whether you say the foul was in act of shooting.

Question for Mark.

In the OP, after the player jumps, is fouled, and lands ... that player can (had they not been fouled) immediately jump and shoot ... or they could conceivably wait a second or two, fake, and then shoot (and/or pass). 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?

YES DAMNIT. He's made his point very clearly. Put the kid on the line and shoot 2, or 3 if he's behind the arc.

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!
