This is something not uncommon if you do girls/women's basketball. Not a criticism, just a reality due to the type of athletes involved. To me, the OP play described puts several rules into possible play, most have been discussed. IMO, intent would only come into play if there was a foul and it was up to the official to determine pass or shot, but I digress. How many times have we as officials mistook the intent of a 3 point shooter by putting our hand up, only to see the players 'intent' change? What about ball fakes? What about changing their minds in mid air? We are to judge players by what they do, not their intent* (* is for a few exceptions)
On a side note I thought it ironic that JR was lecturing on reading comprehension skills, but again, I digress!
