So, a player starts their normal shooting motion, gets hammered, official has a whistle. The offensive player isn't able to release the ball. Are you saying they aren't in the act of shooting? IMO if they begin their shooting motion and get fouled, it is a shooting foul. .

Right after I wrote that post I wanted to modify it but had to leave for a game. I should have said if they want the FTs then try to shoot the darn ball. I'm not going to penalize A1 if he/she gets hit hard enough that they can't release the ball. However, if they can get it out of their hands and purposely pass it to a teammate, for me, they've also passed up their chance at getting FTs.
