In the act of shooting?

Fair enough. I was taking that part for granted/not challenging the OP's judgment of that particular question.

I agree that, if in doubt, it was continuous motion.

Agreed, and I wasn't intending to challenge his judgment on this particular play. The rule is clear, but then again, so is the rule for multiple fouls.

According to the philosophies of many on here as expressed in another recent thread, that would not be a shooting foul at all since he didn't continue to shoot after the foul but made another move prior to actually shooting.

I don't agree with them, however.

I can't help but chuckle.

Tongue in cheek I know but that's a misrepresentation of what those of us on that side of the argument are saying.

Easy answer to the OP is two shots.

Only somewhat. I'm just exposing the inconsistency in that philosophy. It is merely that some just don't want to make rules-based decisions and would rather take the easy road based on what the fans/coaches expect instead of the right road.

I think that in some of the cases, it's not the easy road they are trying to take, but rather retroactively justify whatever they said first so they can never be wrong --- rules be damned.

I don't even understand what you are trying to say here. But it sure doesn't seem to resemble anything to do with that previous conversation.

It doesnt expose any inconsistency at all nor is it about taking the easy road or doing something that is not right by any stretch of the imagination.

But no need to hi-jack this thread to an issue that's already been discussed.

Only if he had stepped through and passed the ball
