crazy play

This is an off ball foul so the play is Dead when A2 got pushed. The foul is not on A1, the ball would have to be out of the hands for the basket to count.

Actually, I think A1 would just have to be in the shooting motion. The ball only has to be released when the foul is on the teammate of the shooter, right? I will go look it up to make sure.

That's the way I read Exception 3 to Rule 6-7-7. Doesn't say anything about the foul having to be on the shooter, just an opponent of the shooter committing a foul and the shooting motion having previously begun.
