"1. Once the habitual "shooting motion" has started, the player is considered to be in the act of shooting. Therefore, if a player has picked up his dribble on a lay-up, he/she has begun the act of shooting. I am guessing that would explain the situation you describe. Other similar situations apply as well."

Thank you, that is how it happened. In the play that I speak of, it just seemed to be a bit more drawn out. The player started the motion for a lay-up, a reach occurred, then the shooter ball faked and the shot followed. It was just different in the fact that the official stated out loud "shooting two, continuation." The official did chat with me and as I stated earlier he said that continuation was absolutly in the book.

The second question regarding the coverage area. The foul, which didn't in my opinion have the "oh my god quality" did happen on the side opposite of the trail official, it was a trap of the first pass in bounds. I do understand angles from baseball and know that you don't have to be right on top of it as long as you have the correct angle, just seemed like the closest official should have had the call.

Thanks for all the responses
