Heres one that happened last year in our area. Team A inbounds ball under B's basket, full court pressure is on and A1 turns and shoots ball at B's basket. While in the act of shooting B1 fouls A1 and ball goes in after the whistle sounds. What do you do? I'll post later what happened and then what we decided in our association meeting should have happened.

This situation has come up several times on this board, and here is my paraphrase of what the consensus has been in other cases.
A1 is not shooting a try, since (by rule) a try can only be at one's own basket. Because A1 is not shooting a try, continuous motion does not apply, and this is not a "shooting foul." Therefore, the ball becomes dead on the whistle, and the basket does not count. If A is in the bonus, A1 will shoot FT's (at his own basket) for the common foul - otherwise A gets the spot throw-in under the basket (okay, not right under, but you know what I mean). B1, of course, gets chewed out by the coach. |

Foul - team B's coach, because team B lost two easy points, and (possibly) gave A the chance to score 2 - a 4 point turnaround. |

A1 is not in the act of shooting. You can only shoot at your own basket. There is no basket. A gets the ball OOB or A1 gets FT's if A is in the bonus. Please tell us that it was handled this way. Even more importantly, tells us that your association feels that this is the proper call. It sounds like somebody may have made a mistake. |

Yes our association does feel it should have been handled as the posts indicate. However, the officials at the game had no idea what to do so they counted the basket for B and allowed 2 free throws by A1(at A's proper basket)the reasoning was A was in the "act of shooting". Sorry to keep rehashing old material, some of us haven't been on as long as others.(Even if we are old dogs!)I do wish all officials had access to this site, I feel my game has improved because of it, thanks to all who contribute!!!!!!
