I read Dude's post as saying that he judged that the player had started his act of shooting, and he then called the foul accordingly.

And Dude's never lied to me before.

I quit trying to fool JR a long time ago...so yes, Nevada, believe him when he says I "judged that the player had started his act of shooting".
