Foul-buzzer-shot

Lancelot is the C

Is he still around?

What I don't understand about your scenario is that Lance said "no shot" and Gil called the foul. Then Lance said "act of shooting", but he didn't call the foul; Gil did. Its up to Gil to determine whether the foul was in the act of shooting. If in the act of shooting and the foul was called prior to the horn, you shoot 2 free throws.

The tougher question, in my view, here is that if the shot isn't released prior to the buzzer sounding, can it count if the ball goes in? In other words, are we shooting 2 FT and not counting a shot under that situation?

That question has already been answered above. The ball has to be in the air when the buzzer goes to count. Always. The cites to back that up are contained in my last post above.

Do a search of the forum - this one has come up quite a bit over the years.

Yup - big exam tomorrow, combined with the umpire signalling a TD at the end of last night's Rutgers-WVU game made me come back for a look. I try to keep up with the forum every once in a while.
