Continuous motion?

[Scrapper1]

A1 begins his shooting motion. The court is used for multiple sports and A1 steps on a non-boundary marking. The official mistakenly blows his whistle, believing that A1 stepped out of bounds. A1 continues the shooting motion and the ball enters the basket. Score the basket?

Inadvertent Whistle. Unfortunately, play would stop immediately. Continuous motion should not apply based on the rule.

And his/her coach would likely thank you as any line for another sport that is close enough to be confused with the real boundary line is likely a very long, low-odds shot.

Not necessarily. I've seen some volleyball lines and some cross-court lines that are within a couple feet of the base line. Had this very IW once, fortunately, the shooter missed a 5 foot shot.

Note that I did say "likely".

This is a college gym in Northern Wisconsin. I think Mick has said he has ref'ed here before.



If you look, there is a line about 1 foot closer than the real FT line. I saw 2 violations in a tourny last year for a FT shooter shooting fron the "14" foot line.

You cannot tell from this pic very well, but the whole gym is a nightmare of lines.

We have many courts in our area that have lines close to, parallel to, and the same width, and color, as the division line and endlines. No matter how often I work at these sites, and note these lines in the pregame with my partner, we still inadvertently blow the whistle occasionally. All we can do is say "Sorry", and give the ball back to the team that didn't go back court, or didn't go out of bounds.

Continuous motion applies to a shooter and a foul by B. I don't see a B foul in this scenario.

I don't see counting the basket unless you're going to apply 2-3.

You're all too smart and too fast. I was thinking this would get somebody who forgot that continuous motion only applies when the whistle is for a foul by the defense.
