Spin Move..Continuation?
Boys JV game few days ago....B4 starts to make a spin move in the lane toward the basket with his arms moving up..I blow a foul on A3 and the basket is good and rule +1...
Coach jumps off bench and sez that is not continuation when player is doing a spin move (IE: on the floor). Appreciate any help on this one. Thanks! |
Help in the form of advice: stop listening to coaches.

Once the player has begun the habitual motion that precedes the throwing for goal, the player is allowed to continue that motion, even if it includes stepping, pivoting and/or jumping. NFHS 4-11-2. As usual, it's imperative to know your definitions.

Are you saying that the arms must be going upward in a shooting motion to get continuation?
|
No I'm asking where does it say that "gathered" is the indication of when the habitual motion that precedes the throwing for goal is perceived?
|
It says "gather" in a rulebook that is written much better than the book you're probably referring to.
4-9-2 ...while holding the ball. 4-41-2 ...A players is trying for goal when the player has the ball... Synonym - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
Good Question

Referee Magazine's recent article (November 2011, p. 17,19, "Hoop and Some Harm ('And 1')) did a rather good job of describing exactly what your question refers to. |
Gathered implies something that happens after the player has been dribbling. Not all shots are initiated off a dribble. Holding the ball covers much more than gathering. In other words, gathering is a subset of what it means to be holding the ball. But it is not everything.
|
Gathering is the logical thing someone does after a dribble to shoot the ball. It is the term I use and that many at high levels use even if that is not the specific language it helps people understand what should be called.

My point to the OP was that the players arms moving up has nothing to do with the habitual shooting motion. I know a TON of guys who believe this is true :rolleyes: |
