End of game foul
Just processing in my head. Is their any difference between
Jump for try, foul, horn, release, land. or Jump for try, horn, foul, release, land? |
Quote:
First situation: wipe the shot, as it was released late. Award the free throws with the lane cleared. If the end of the game, and the shots will not affect the final score, report the foul and that's it. Second situation: ignore the foul unless intentional or flagrant. |

Has anyone ever seen the OP actually happen?
1. I know the foul was before the buzzer. 2. I know the release was after the buzzer, so the basket doesn't count but we still shoot. As written, this is the way it is. But there is a fundamental flaw here. If I know the above things are true, then I also know that the clock should have stopped with some small amount of time still showing. If this is not the case, the airborne shooter should be allowed to finish his try regardless of when the buzzer sounded if he is fouled. Perhaps an editorial revision/minor rule change is in order. |
Yes I have seen it, and I disagree that there is a fundamental flaw. I do understand the logic, and wouldn't necessarily be opposed to a change, but any time you choose to put back on the clock is just as arbitrary as zero.

With the presence of the foul, the shooter may have been able to release the shot before the buzzer. As such, it isn't entirely fair or just to not allow them to complete the shot if fouled before the horn. |
