"Indirect" Shooting Foul?

I'm having trouble deciphering your posts, but I think I understand now. You're making the point that continuous motion applies not only when the shooter is fouled, but also when any teammate of the shooter is fouled. Am I right? I simply didn't understand the way you said it the first time.

I did not think it was vague.

The question was, "Did the shot need to be gone before the foul?"

I answered, "No, not on a foul by the defense on ANY offensive player, once the shooting motion began.

If A1 starts their motion to shoot, any foul committed by B on A1, A2, A3, A4, or A5 does not cause the ball to become dead, and a made basket would count. A foul against A1 is a shooting foul. A foul against A2-5 is a common foul with either ball to A at the spot closest the foul or bonus free throws.

A foul by any A player causes the ball to become dead, unless the shot has already been released, except for a foul committed by airborne A1 which would also cause a released ball to become dead.

Better?
