4-41-2 . . .
A try for field goal is an attempt by a player to score two or three points by throwing the ball into a team’s own basket. A player is trying for goal when the player has the ball and in the official’s judgment is throwing or attempting to throw for goal. It is not essential that the ball leave the player’s hand as a foul could prevent release of the ball. |

Any Wiggle Room Here ???

Below is copied from my post of December 21, 2008: Also, when a player drives to the hoop, gets fouled during the move down the lane, the ball, because of the foul, pops out. I make an immediate subjective, experienced decision whether it was a pass, or a shot, and state "That's a pass", if I'm 100% sure that the player, seeing a defensive player in the lane, decided to pass, but was unable to complete the pass due to the foul. I'm probably wrong sometimes, but I want to make my decision, and communicate it to my partner, right away, not on the way to the table, to find a coach waiting for me, saying, "But he was in the act of shooting". I'm not completely sold on my take on this situation. I would really appreciate some citations to either back me up, meaning the calling official can use judgment to decide if the player was in the act of shooting, or not; or some citations to make me go the other way, that is, once the player drives down the lane using the customary movements of the start of a try, that no matter what happens after that, they're getting at least one free throw for being in the act of shooting.
