When is the shot over?
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.

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

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

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") |

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

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'.

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. |

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. |
