Thanks.

There are times in basketball I still struggle to find what the proper mix of philosophy and rulebook application is. I can't say I've seen a play like this yet but I have a feeling if I have, I would have wiped the shot

Instead of the play in the video think about this play:

2 football player sized big men in the post. A1 has the ball below his waist and starts to raise it while elevating for his try attempt. B1 whacks his wrists, A1 bobbles basketball, A1 gathers it back in around chest level and finishes successful try.

Can you imagine explaining to A1's coach why you are awarding 2 shots instead of going with an "And 1"?

If you want to see heads explode, let's talk about holding a whistle on a foul to ensure that the foul is put on the shot attempt rather than rushing in like the cavalry to tell everyone it was "before the shot".

OK I have done that before.

Agree wholeheartedly.

I'm counting that basket at any level I work.

Even worse is the people who bring those practical applications from another "level" and apply them during a different game. And their excuse is "well, in my XYZ games, that's the way we call it".

As far as the OP, I would count the basket even in a HS game. That's just a flat out strong athletic move and should not be taken away from the shooter.

Thinking out loud here, he's fouled, catches ball and comes to a jump stop...from that position he shoots again. Count it?

Hmmmm...making my head hurt now, but I think I probably would not in this scenario. Depends on the timing/tempo of the whistle.

This was brought up this weekend during film study at a camp while discussing continuous motion. Person running the study says a jump stop ends the try.

I haven't done any research yet to verify.

Was this a college-level film study? I'm trying to reconcile these two posts.

One comment was made back in February referencing only this play, the other was made after this weekend and about a different aspect of continuous motion.

Peace

See JRut's response. 2 different plays.

When the ball is caught out of the air after the contact, how is it continuous motion?

Are you saying a try ends because the ball is knocked out of his hands?

Peace

Because:

Any HS ref who attended a college camp would get an earful if he waved off a bobble on the way up as the end of the try. In a HS game if you wave it off you can justify it by rule. In a HS game if you score the basket I don't think anybody would say a word.

But if you are a HS ref auditioning for a college job you're best served by counting the basket as it would be the expected call.
