For example, A2 and B2 are in the post and you decide to call a push on B2. A quick look to notice that A1 is in the motion of shooting and you can wait until the ball is in the air before you blow your whistle which will make it easier on everyone. Bucket is good and the foul is on B2. Team A gets the ball out of bounds if we're not in bonus yet.

Z is right that this isn't a rule change, but a clarification of an existing rule. A slow whistle might cut out a few arguments, but it isn't really germane when it comes to the way that the rule is administered. If the shooter has started his shooting motion when any defender commits a foul, you just let him complete the motion, and count the basket if it goes. It doesn't really matter whether the ball is in the air, or not. I just wanted to clarify that point for any new officials reading this.

The new language of R4-11-1 is: "Continuous motion applies to a try or tap for field goals and free throws, but it has no significance unless there is a foul by any defensive player during the interval which begins when the habitual throwing motion starts a try or with the touching on a tap and ends when the ball is clearly in flight".
