Continuous Motion

[Berkut]

A1 drives to the basket. He begins his motion to shoot. Then he is fouled. Then he travels (possibly as a result of the foul, but maybe not). Then he makes the basket.

What do we have?

No basket. Two FTs.

you have no basket - the violation ended the shot attempt. you then send A1 to the line for 2 FT's as he was fouled in the act of shooting.

same concept, differenct scenario....as the clock is winding down to end the quarter/half, A1 starts his habitual shooting motion/gathers the ball to begin his shot, gets fouled, horn sounds, ball is released, and the ball goes in....what do you have?

shot does NOT count (shot ended when horn sounded prior to release of the ball), A1 gets 2 FT's....

Unless you have definite knowledge of the time that should be on the clock (when the whistle sounded) and restore that time. In that case, you count the basket and continue with a FT with players on the lane as normal....then time expires.
