The philosophy of awarding two shoots

So what if a player is in the act of shooting, does not release the ball comes back to the floor and then jumps up again and puts the ball in the hole? Are you going to award the basket?

No! The point I attempted to make is. If player is in the act of shooting and is fouled he/she is allowed to continue the habitual throwing; pivoting or stepping movement while still holding the ball

If they disallow the basket, there are only three scenarios which would allow two shots to the fouled player.

1. Double bonus situation.
2. Shooter traveled (or other violation) prior to releasing the shot, but after the foul).
3. The foul happened just as the period expired, but the period expired prior to the release of the shot (and the officials did not see time on the clock after the whistle).

4. Intentional foul (I added this one even though it doesn't seem like that was the case given your confusion).

Are you sure they weren't in the double bonus (the most likely scenario)?

You noticed a trend? I've never seen a single official make this mistake, so I can't imagine a "trend."
