This situation would not be one of those times.

And you would be stone cold wrong, on a written test, and in a real game.

Just how many extra steps are you going to give the fouled ball handler/shooter?

Continuation does not allow for extra steps. If the ball handler/shooter was in the act of shooting before the foul occurred, the foul does not cause the ball to become dead immediately, however, the travel violation does cause the ball to become dead immediately and no goal can be scored.

There is no such thing as a continuation rule that allows a dead ball delay in a travel violation.

In this case a dead ball going through the basket doesn't count as two points.
