To say the stopping of the dribble is the start of the act of shooting by it self is erroneous.

No rule, just common sense.

1) You said: "To say the stopping of the dribble is the start of the act of shooting by it self is erroneous."

I don't think you understand the defintition of continuous motion. Go back and reread my posts in this thread. Not ever stoppage of a dribble is the start of the act of shooting but when it is part of one continuous act of play by one player it can be the start of the act of shooting.


2) You said: "We've all encountered a player attempting a try and by the force of the foul, alters their attempt and passes. It is an officials judgement whether or not he was in the act of shooting."

I do not disagree with you. That is why we are paid the big () dollars to officiate.


3) You said: "No rule, just common sense."

Lock your common sense in the car when you arrive at the game site. Use the rules and logic instead.

mark, I understand continuous motion. I'm being nit picky in your writing which the stand alone sentence "The stopping of the dribble is the start of the act of shooting" is wrong. What you meant to say............oh never mind we both agree.

Yes we do get paid the big bucks!

I equate common sense with logic........again semantics.

I feel for you with that Buckeye loss, I was pullin' for them.
