Continuation Rule

My partner came into the conversation (coach had called a TO to discuss this!), and explained that the rule had been changed about 5 years ago.

I can't remember the rules on continuous motion having changed, and I've been officiating for 10 years now. What supposed change was he referring to? Maybe he was just trying to placate the coach.

They dont want to admith NF/NCAA? and NBA are close on this rule...

Not only are they close, but they're almost identical in wording. It wasn't me, but I remember not too long ago somebody (it may have been TH) posted the Fed rule and then cut/pasted the NBA rule from their website. They're virtually identical. The only thing necessary for the continuation rule to apply is the beginning of the "habitual motion" that precedes a shot.
