Agree. I would also get the ball back from the shooter, if I could.

I'm saying that the ball is released a split second after the horn sounds, too late to get it back from the rattled shooter because it's on it's way to the hoop.

Unless the ball has an rubber band attached to it (à la Harlem Globetrotters), no chance that we're getting it back from the rattled shooter.

This is a much different situation from the original post where a few seconds passed.
