When is the shot over?

[Coach Bill]

NFHS rules. Our guy goes to close out a shooter shooting a jump shot, and then boxes him out pretty aggressively AFTER the shooter landed on the floor. He knocked the guy down. I agreed with the foul call (he displaced him), but they awarded him two shots. Was that correct? At what point in time is the shot over, and this type of foul would be "on the floor".

This one would fall under have to see it. Several variables as to when the fould was committed and when feet hit the floor etc.

Being an airborne shooter ended when 1 foot of the airborne shooter touched the court, as per case book play 4.4.1.

If the foul occurred after the foot came down, it's not a foul in the act of shooting.

In your situation, the player was no longer an airborne shooter. By rule the foul is a common foul and should be penalized accordingly.

Not "feet", foot.

I would say I was using the 3rd person singular possessive, but let's be honest, I should have typed foot!!

And you should type "to", not "too" in your signature.

Note the smiley face - just teasing. I'm sure there are guys here who would love to point out you're ending a sentence with a preposition, too. (note the correct use of "too")

2 feet? Is that after the metric conversion?

[Coach Bill]

Curious. What about ncaa and NBA? one or two feet?

The only thing that matters is when the player touched the floor with relation to when the defender's contact began. That's it, no other variables matter.

[Judtech]

The variable I was talking about was when contact occured. Did the official think that the contact occured prior to the FOOT return? We don't even know if there was a double bonus involved. That is all. No great conspiracy on the 'variable'.

NBA: act of shooting ends when the shooting motion ceases and the player returns to a normal floor position.

Rule No. 4-Definitions
Section X—Field Goal Attempt
A field goal attempt is a player’s attempt to shoot the ball into his basket for a field goal. The act of shooting starts when, in the official’s judgment, the player has started his shooting motion and continues until the shooting motion ceases and he returns to a normal floor position.

Which usually means the act of shooting hasn't ended until at least three fist pumps on said player's chest, a point upwards and then both hands pointing at themself.

As always.........I would have to be there to see it.

But, I think we can all agree that there was only one person in that gym watching the shooter after the ball left their hand.
