"Continuous" issues...

And I count #3 all day, with gusto.

I had a play like this a couple weeks ago. I counted it and the opposing coach couldn't believe it. I just said "she was in her shooting motion coach", He actually said, "but if you're calling the block it HAS to be on the floor" I don't think my snicker was audible.

Mine would have been.

I'm seeing a trend in these plays, as well as others while I OD on H.S. playoff ball on the web.

*A1 gathers
*A1 has ball at his/her hips or below
*B1 commits a foul
*A1 doesn't get credit for continuous motion

It's as though the play stops for the calling officials if A1 doesn't have the ball in a "shooting" position when the whistle blows.
