ITEM: Airborne shooter

NFHS: In air after release of try or tap

NCAA: Men—No rule
Women—Same as NFHS

As Dan said there is an airborne shooter rule in NCAA mens. It is just different. The definition of a player control foul does NOT include the airborne shooter. However, if the shooter is fouled before he returns to the floor after releasing the ball on a try for goal, he is still in the act of shooting and is awarded FTs.

You can say they have an airborne shooter rule, but in all the NCAA literature, they consider that there is not airborne shooter rule in Men's basketball. The only part of the airborne shooter rule that applies to NCAA Men's is the shooter being fouled before they come to the floor. So factually speaking, there is no airborne shooter rule in Men's basketball, but there is in Women's basketball. I know this is semantics, but I will trust how the NCAA form considers what there rules say or do not say.

errr...what about ncaa rule 4.1?

Isn't it part of the ncaa literature?

Section 1. Airborne Shooter
Art. 1. An airborne shooter is in the act of shooting.

A.R. 67. A1 is in the air on a jump shot in the lane. A1 releases the ball on a try and is fouled by B1, who has jumped in an unsuccessful attempt to block the shot. A1’s try is: (a) successful; or (b) unsuccessful. RULING: A1 shall be an airborne shooter when the ball is released until he or she returns with one foot touching the floor. An airborne shooter shall be in the act of shooting. B1 has fouled A1 in the act of shooting. A1 shall be awarded one free throw in (a), and two in (b).

Art. 2. An airborne shooter is a player who has released the ball on a try for goal until one foot has returned to the floor.

I'm pretty sure there's no specific reference to ncaa-w or ncaa-m in there. It's just ncaa.

So you're saying this does not apply to ncaa-m? It's a women's only interp? On the men's side this player is no longer in the act of shooting & doesn't get his FT?

A.R. 67. A1 is in the air on a jump shot in the lane. A1 releases the ball on a try and is fouled by B1, who has jumped in an unsuccessful attempt to block the shot. A1’s try is: (a) successful; or (b) unsuccessful. RULING: A1 shall be an airborne shooter when the ball is released until he or she returns with one foot touching the floor. An airborne shooter shall be in the act of shooting. B1 has fouled A1 in the act of shooting. A1 shall be awarded one free throw in (a), and two in (b).
