Holding that whistle

Seems to me you can't have a shooting foul, so you need to decide if B2 impeded A1's shot or not. If she didn't, you let A1 live with the results of her layup. If she did, call the foul.

If you blow the whistle too early, you take a way A1's earned advantageous position OR you make it a more difficult sales job for you to count the basket if it goes. I'm going to err on the side of letting the shooter get to the shot if there is anyway that can be done.

After re-reading the play, I agree with Camron.
