shot or pass??

[phansen]

NFHS. A1 goes up for a 12 foot baseline shot. While in the air he is fouled, but before returning to the ground manages to attempt a pass to a teammate. This all happened very fast. I am certain he was initially attempting a shot, but the contact made him change his mind. 2 shot foul or A's ball OB??

I would have to say....ummmm maybe not nuff said...with that said however if you can go ahead and say that the foul kept the player from getting the shot off, you can call it on the shot...but it sure looks funny if he passes it out to the free throw line and you give him 2 shots???

On one hand, you're guessing at what the airborne player actually was intending to do.,...pass vs. shot. On the other hand, you can call what actually happened....a pass.

Not really a tough decision imo....

Why not? The only thing which is certain is the pass. The rest is guess work and officials don't guess.

Somewhere, there's a specific NFHS interp that this is to be ruled a foul in the act of shooting.

Please reread and note my embarassment icon.............I'm agreeing with JR.
