Player Control vs. Intentional Foul

Sounds like someone ought to go to NF and suggest a rule clarification/change to state that an intentional or flagrant foul by the airborne shooter will result in basket being disallowed. I can't honestly believe that they would want this type of call to be made.

I agree. If the philosophy behind disallowing a basket when a common PC foul occurs is the airborne shooter gained an advantage by committing a PC foul and should not be rewarded, it seems very inconsistent to count the basket if he/she intentionally fouls during the shot.

If handled as an intentional foul but not PC, the best the offended team can do is come out even (i.e. Team A gets 2 or 3 points for the basket and Team B can only get 2 for the free throws).

I think I would call an intentional foul, "rule" that it came before the release, and disallow the basket.
