Fundamentals
17. “Continuous motion” applies both to tries and taps for field goals and free throws, but it has no significance unless there is a foul by the defense during the interval which begins when the habitual trying or tapping movement starts and ends when the ball is clearly in flight.
Picture a player driving for a lay-up. Does his habitual trying or tapping movement starts when he picks up his dribble? Is he in the Act of Shooting? The ball is around his waist area. He takes a step. Defender fouls by reaching in and prevents his arms from moving upward. Per my reading of the NCAAM ruling, this IS NOT a shooting foul.
Another play. A1 has the ball 2 feet from the basket. He give a real good pump fake. Defender jumps way into the air. A1 momentarily waits to attempt the Try. Before A1 can jump, Defender lands on top of A1, preventing any type of upward motion. Is this a shooting foul? I say yes to this play and the lay-up play per NFHS rules
