When is the shot over?

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.

Maybe -- depending upon two factors:
1. Did the official actually SEE the foul -- or just the train wreck that followed?
and
2. Was the mother/father of the shooter in the stands?

Close. The father of the player who committed the foul.

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.

That's when the try ended? You sure about that?

Good catch. That statement is wrong. I'll go back and correct it.

The "act of shooting" ends when 1 foot of an airborne shooter lands. The "try" ends when it's good, certain it's no good or the ball becomes dead.

They're separate and un-related acts and are considered as such, rules-wise.

Could they have been in the double bonus?
