Another one for newbies

NF rules. A1 begins his shooting motion. B1 fouls him on the arm. Before A1 can release the shot, the horn sounds ending the second period. A1 continues his motion and the shot goes in. Team A is not in the bonus. What's your call?

No foul. I'm too worried about the principal of the defensive team's school launching a protest over my judgment.

I'm starting a petition against you anyway, just to be on the safe side.

Basket is good, shooting one free throw with the lane cleared. (4-41-1)

How can you count the basket when the ball is in the players hand when the horn goes off?

Mark Padgett: LocDog249 has only 23 posts. I would consider him, or her, to be a newbie. Wouldn't you? But his, or her, answer is not complete. It's your thread, so it's your call. I say give him a prize from the bottom shelf, you know, one of those six inch stuffed animals, or one of those red plastic horms, or at least one of those six inch, black plastic, combs.

Haha was just taking a wild guess assuming it was a trick question :-P

The language in 4-41-1 implies that the continuous motion does not end until the ball is in flight...

And if B1 impeded A1's ability to get the shot off in time (and A1 had begun their habitual motion).

Additionally, the clock theoretically stops at the whistle and thus there is time left on the clock when the whistle blows on contact before the horn. Depending on HOW much time was left on the clock when the shot was fired and if the official had definite knowledge of how much time was left. If so, time back on the clock (and no cleared lane...)

bradfordwilkins: 169 posts and you consider yourself a newbie? At least you were wrong, and we'll get a chance for a real newbie to win a prize off the top shelf.

Mark Padgett: If we don't get a correct answer by the end of the afternoon, can I play? I've got my eye on that big, blue, teddy bear on the top shelf. Please?

Speaking of post numbers, how many posts does one need before one becomes an esteemed Forum member?

Always one more than whatever you have.
