Foul while in the act???

[Adam]

Normally, I'm with the common foul on this. However, it's possible that this kid thought he might not get the foul call; in which case an off-balance shot would be stupid. Without having seen the play, I can visualize a play where a player gets fouled pretty hard and decides to dump it off because he has no legitimate shot at the goal. I wouldn't want to penalize smart play because my whistle might have been a little late (in his mind).
