Foul, Whistle, Shot

[Terrapins Fan]

Help me out here.

I had a foul yesterday and my partner says I got it wrong.

Here's what I saw.


A1 is fouled in the act of shooting, B1 comes across her arm and prevents A1 from shooting, I blew the whistle, B1 stops and then A1 continues the act of shooting BUT only because I blew and B1 stopped.

Basket goes and I disallow it.

Partner says, because I called it in the act of shooting, I got to count the basket. I disagree. A1 made the basket AFTER I blew on the shooting foul and AFTER B1 backed off. There was a delay from the shot, foul, whistle and continuation.

Can you see what I am saying?

Thanks,

Sounds like your partner was right. If A1 starts their motion to the basket, they are allowed to finish it. The only way you would not count the basket is if A1 stopped his motion on his own. But once he/she starts, they are allowed to finish.

I am also not seeing the significance of B1 backing off either. What does that have to do with the motion of the shooter?

Peace

That's what I think happened, she was stopped by B1.

shot attempt, foul, whistle, B1 stops on the whistle, I move toward the table and A1 then finishes the shot.

The was a delay of about a second and a half. I didn't see it as continuation.

I had already signaled 2 shoots before she finished her shot.

It was like when you call a foul on a missed basket and another player shoots the ball and makes the basket, makes you wonder....

Maybe I am understanding this a little better. You are saying that the shooter was completely stopped from shooting and started again and shot the basket?

I can then agree with you on some level if that is the case. Then again, you were there at that is your judgment. But I am going to do everything to count the basket in this case. But I have had similar plays in my career if I am understanding your explanation better.

Peace

Imho, A's habitual shooting motion continues until they release, violate, or request a TO. Count the basket in your case.

Based on the discription I'm envisioning the play having stopped and then A1 all of a sudden flips the ball in the basket after the play is dead.
