Continuation?

[jhc2010]

I had an evaluator say that the continuation rule is the exact same for NFHS, NCAA, and NBA. Is this true?

Yes.

Yes. And IMO, there are too many people who call a foul "on the floor" when it should properly be called a shooting foul.

Agreed. I see it too many times where the dribbler picks up his dribble driving to the basket, gets fouled and the foul is called not in the act of shooting. If he picks up his dribble on the drive before getting fouled, let 'em finish.

A lot of these should be no-called, too, if the dribbler is getting past the defender and gets hit. Not all, but a lot.

But just picking up the dribble isn't necessarily enough, he must be starting his shooting motion (which often times starts simultaneously with the gathering of the dribble.)

Agreed, light contact I will let go, I'm talking about when you do call the foul.

I would say that 99% of the time when on a dribble drive they pick up the dribble while starting their shooting motion. The other 1% is when they pass it off.

I agree with you, but want too add that contact doesn't have to be light. You can have a pretty good slap on the arm that doesn't have much of an effect.

"Yeah, coach, there was contact, but your player got by it and had an open layup."

I thought in the NBE, they allow continuation to begin in the parking lot.

Continuous motion applies to a try for field goal or free throw, but shall have no significance unless there is a foul by the defense during the interval that begins when the habitual throwing movement starts a try or with the touching on a tap and ends when the ball is clearly in flight.
