crazy play

[bpf]

So in high school and college if team A is not in the penalty then they would just get the ball out of bounds?? That doesn't seem fair since A1 missed his layup, or atleast was deprieved of attempting it, because B1 pushed A2 into him. B1 should be assessed an intentional at the very least I would think. I don't see how it could't be intentional.

OK, This is very poor grammar. " A foul is committed by any opponent of a player who has started a try or tap for goal etc.... Now according to the English language, this means any opponent who fouls the shooter. However, after reading 6.7D in the case book, then i will concur with you guys. I will admit i am wrong. I will continue to hold my head high even in defeat and at the same time be humble. So you don't have to get in my face with the " i told you so's ". And that is all i have to say concerning this subject. Except, it would be nice if one, just one of you guys would agree the wording is poor grammar.

i agree, the wording is poor and can be confusing. I think this play is good to talk about in regards to a try for goal. when does the shooting motion start? how often do you watch a college game on tv and see baskets waved off when they should have counted. continuation is the same of every level, although many people don't think that. the shooting motion starts when the ball is picked up in an effort to shoot. it's good to have an understanding of that concept so that we don't take points or free throws away from players in the act of shooting.

I would probably call this an intentional foul with A2 shooting the 2 shots.
