Have you ever seen a high level official wave a shot off for this reason? I haven't, and I doubt I'd want to be the first.
I am guessing on this one you will need some help from your partners on the travel.

Which you won't get, because I would be scoring the basket (in my mind) right with the calling official.

ART. 2 . . . If an opponent fouls after a player has started a try for goal, he/she is permitted to complete the customary arm movement, and if pivoting or stepping when fouled, may complete the usual foot or body movement in any activity while holding the ball. These privileges are granted only when the usual throwing motion has started before the foul occurs and before the ball is in flight.

ART. 3 . . . Continuous motion does not apply if a teammate fouls after a player has started a try for a goal and before the ball is in flight. The ball becomes dead immediately.
I'm missing your point Indy. I know I lead my association in ruling 'continous motion' on fouls. The "on the floor" call is a pet-peeve of mine.

Even if the player obviously travels before releasing the shot? The play I had the other night A1 obviously dragged his pivot foot for all to see. I have no problem telling either coach that the foul caused the travel but I'm still giving him 2 shots.

I have....once. Took a brief explanation to the coach and he agreed because he saw his player take the extra steps.

Extra steps I can understand; 99% of kids give up by then. I just don't know if I'd be able to see the pivot foot slide.

once the shooting motion starts, (ART. 3 . . . The try starts when the player begins the motion which habitually precedes the release of the ball. ) if the foul occurs after that point it is a shooting foul, if it occurs prior to that point, it is not a shooting foul

Fairly black and white the pivot foot has nothing to do with a try, unless you rule a travel before hand.

Of course it's a shooting foul. That wasn't the question.

Do you count the basket or award two shots and disallow the basket.
I have also seen the bump cause the shooter to drag his pivot foot before releasing the ball on the try.

Thanks for the help.
A player cannot commit a violation or foul after they've been fouled, and expect that the shot will still count if successful.

If they could, a little bit of pondering will make you realize that players could take advantage of this, and how they would do it. Since we don't see players taking advantage of this situation, there must not be this situation to be taken advantage of! Whistle the foul, waive the basket off and signal the reason why: travelling. Award 2 or 3 shots.

Say A1 gets fouled, and then takes 3 steps, releases the ball, and it goes in. Are you going to count it?

The one where a ball becomews dead if a violation occurs and there's no exception for "continuous motion".
