Fouling airborne shooter when ball is dead... ?

[Adam]

A dunk. Or any shot which goes through the basket prior to the shooter landing.

Yeah, I was thinking dunk.
Specifically, I was thinking about a dunk with traffic under the basket which leaves the shooter hanging on the rim to prevent injury to himself... and while he is hanging he is fouled.
In this new scenario, would you call a shooting foul based on the definition that the shooter has yet to return to the floor, albeit hanging on rim for a second or two after the made basket?

Thanks,
Paul

Hanging isn't necessary. Just like any airborne shooter, he has to be allowed to land. If the defense undercuts him, it's a shooting foul. I've had a defender come in and intentionally foul the "dunker" before he landed.

And yes, assuming the hanging was legitimate and not a technical foul.

That brings an interesting thought to mind; the possibility of a T for hanging on the rim followed by a shooting foul on the defense for undercutting him as he tries to land.

It would be the rare case (in NFHS rules) where the T shots would be followed by the shot for the shooting foul.

Although I've never seen it called, there could be an elbow violation on the offense while the try is in the air. This causes the ball to become dead, however, the shooter has not yet returned to the floor.

I think this is one of the questions I missed on the exam. Would you, or anyone, be so kinds as to cite where this is covered in the rule book?

The elbow violation is 9-13. The provision keeping the ball alive after a foul but during a try is 6-7 EXCEPTION.

There is no case play exactly like the one Scrapper mentions, afaik.

That's actually what I was looking for. Rules book is packed in the bag in the car so don't have a chance to look at it right now. Thanks,

Interesting case. I'd propose that any contact foul on a shooter that occurs after the shooter has after sucessfully dunked the ball and has hung on the rim long enough to get a T will likely be intentional or flagrant.
