While an unusual situation, I thought that it would be worth discussing with the forum members and reflecting upon.

What stands out to me in the case of a player switching hands after being fouled is the text at the start of the second article: "If an opponent fouls after a player has started a try for goal, ..."
Can we really state that the player had already started his try before being fouled when the ball was actually in his other hand? I guess I just don't see how a player can start his shooting motion with one hand and finish it with the other. That certainly isn't "customary" or "usual."

I'm a washed up men's league player, and I can do this move. Certainly good HS players and above can as well.

For the NCAAM officials in the house...

Regarding the Miami/Wake Forest play from Feb. 2013, was there any comment from John Adams on Arbiter at the time in terms of whether the play was called correctly? If there was and it's still up would you be able to post it?
