shot end?

By rule when an airborne shooter returns to the floor and is then fouled the ball should go OOB. If it's close I'll give her shots though. YMMV.

Why the heck would you do that? Do you have the same attitude about other close calls? The player was close to staying inbounds while saving the ball, the defender was close to obtaining LGP, etc.

I have to take exception with your mindset here. Our job as officials to get the close plays correct, not deliberately miscall them!

Nope.

Then why do you think that it is okay to treat this one differently?

What I've been told by high level referees.
