The upward motion refers to what the offensive player is doing with the ball. As in, has A1 started bringing the ball upward into a position to shoot.

I know they changed the requirements for LGP to be relative to upward motion but did they also change the definition of the act of shooting.

He also brought the ball back down after being fouled and then went back up with it again. That could be what led the official to wipe the basket....the actual attempt to have started after he brought it down and started back up again.

It could also be the fact that he caught the ball on his left foot, stepped with the right, then stepped with the left again before releasing the shot....being fouled doesn't give the player a free pass on a travel.

I ruled the similar Syracuse play as continuation, but this one is perplexing.

Yes, in mid-season.

That's what I was thinking, that the foul occurred during the attempt, but then the shooter traveled, before he released the ball.
