[Judtech]

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.

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")

Mark, as a former Chicagoan, we still say "where's it at" around here.

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.

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'.
