NBA continuation rule

[dave30]

Did anyone catch Derek Fisher's 3 pt try after a foul against Dallas tonight? Why wasn't it continuation? If it is because his foot hit the floor, then why do they allow a step on other continuation plays? I thought maybe the referee anticipated the foul and waved it off too soon. J.Richardson got them in the end though, so it won't be talked about too much.

My understanding to the NBA Rule is the same as the rule is written at the NF and NCAA level. I have no idea about the play you saw, but I can tell you what people think is special to the NBA continuation rule is basically the same at the other levels.

I would agree JRut. I hear that type of comment almost every game.

"Hey ref, this isn't the NBA!"

...

Ok, I somewhat already knew that, however the player does get to continue their shot.

JRut is right. The NBA rule is essentially the same just explained with more detail. Here was another topic on it. I took the opposition just to get some good arguments out of it. Here's the thread:
Score the basket or on the floor?

This is absolutely correct, but how many times do refs come in with, "no shot, on the floor?" There are way too many fouls resulting in a throw-in that should be two free-throws.

Couldn't agree any more.
I can't remember what game it was last night but a kid drove and gathered the ball, right as he did he got hit on the arm, the referee blew the whistle and in one continous motion he scores with the other defender right in front of him taking a charge, the official called the hit on the arm and came in waving off the basket.

How about the shot at the end of the UCLA-Gonzaga game last night? I'm still trying to understand why that was waved off.
