Jump ball or out of bounds?

This is debatable.

Who would cancel the shot of a shooter that goes up with the ball in the left hand and switches to the right hand to complete the shot just because they were fouled prior to shifting the ball to the right hand.

A foul does not cause the ball to become dead. A held ball call does.

But is it really held at all? I find it pretty hard to explain that the release was prevented as the ball is dropping out of the net.

When is a held ball a held ball? There is no simple answer.

4-25-2 could have just as easily stated:

.......prevents an airborne player from throwing the ball........before he returns to the floor.


but it doesn't. We must see each play and decide when to make the call. Whatever happens after that, including a release, is irrelevant.

Perhaps, but after a foul, the ball becomes dead when the "try" ends.
