"Continuous" issues...

All but 4 look like shooting fouls to me. I think in #4 you might have a patient whistle there and the foul actually occurring on the feed pass.

If he's calling that "bump", he needs to be slightly more patient and let it go (IMO). Calling it after your inside beast has the ball and a 4-foot jumper just looks horrible. And you've rewarded the defense for poor defense. It's like calling the hack on the wrist in transition as the pass is landing in the hands of a wide open teammate, in stride, for a layup.

Yup all 3 look like they should be shooting foul shots. Also the last 2 are from me old alma mater in So Cal.

I agree with you completely here but my issue with the patient whistle is that it does have an expiration. Like the hack on the wrist. Do you wait to see how badly was the pass altered before calling the foul?

It depends on the contact and if there is a question that the contact affected the play. I would say sometimes yes. Just like you see a bump and you wait to see if the player falls or loses their balance.
