Coach, #2 is illegal.

In the "spirit and intent" of the thread, it's illegal.

By rule, there is the possibility that #2 could be deemed as a shot attempt. So overall, saying it is always illegal, is wrong.

Say what? what official will deem this a shot attempt if he or she observe the intent of the player?

Coach, the sort of general rule is that if something isn't specifically written into a case or sitch, then it's not part of the consideration. Since nothing was said here about a basket, or backboard or anything else regarding a shot, it couldn't possibly be a shot.

I mean, you're right, if it looked like it was supposed to be a shot, it's legal. But then it would have been written into the case.
