"Continuous" issues...

[chapmaja]

#1, #2, #5 are definitely shooting fouls. The only thing I can see the officials ruling in #5 is he was passing the ball to the trailer, but I think the ball is "blocked" back to him, rather than passed back.

#3 Likely is because she is gathering to go up when the contact is made.

#4 I'm not as sure about, because it looks like the defender pushes the post player in the back before he even makes his pivot. If this is what the official calls (with a late whistle), then it is one the floor. If it was when he pivoted, which also definitely occurs, then it should have been shooting. It's either a late whistle or a bad call.

But there is no such thing. You are either in the shooting motion or you are not. It would help if we could ask the official and maybe that is what they saw, but I give the benefit of the doubt to the shooter when I can.

Sure, he was on the floor, but he was shooting. I would advise you to eliminate this phrase from your vocabulary with regard to calling fouls. Either you're misunderstanding the rule, or (more likely) you're using the term "On the floor" to mean "before the shot." In that case, what are you going to do when you call a shooting foul on the other end when the shooter was on the floor?

As for whether this was a late whistle. It probably was, but it's still a bad call, IMO. You don't want to get that push. And if you do, you have to get it fast. If you need to get this push because of previous actions that may escalate, a patient whistle is not your friend in that rare case.
