Phrase

[icallfouls]

This is a phrase that the NCAA (Billick & Adams) want us to adhere to when calling fouls that could result in FT's. The direction has been that officials need to better recognize when a player has started any movement preceding the shot and award FT's rather than saying "the foul was on the floor," or "the foul ocurred before the release."

For example, on a drive to the basket, the player picks up the dribble, any movement precipitating the shot should be considered part of the habitual shooting motion the would have led to a shot.

It is also the terminology that they want us to use.
