I do not know about anybody else but I have never had a problem with calling this a foul in the act of shooting no matter how far out the foul was as long as it meets the requirements of the rule. MTD, Sr. |
Take an extra second -- much easier to sell a shooting foul if the whistle comes a beat later. And you may decide (by letting the play finish) that it's not actually a foul.

She traveled....and it wasn't really that close. She picked up the ball as she with her left foot on the floor (well before the right came back down), she stepped on the right, then stepped again to the left, then, after a clear delay, released the ball. The catch at the beginning and the release at the end were well separated from the foot necessary foot movements so it isn't even splitting a hair to determine that she traveled. It is no different than a player who jumps to shoot, is fouled, then lands before releasing and making the shot. No shot, going to the line for 2. |
Lot more to discuss on this play other than "shooting or not shooting".

This is a shooting foul at the time of the whistle. It should have been a no-call and a patient whistle would have created that outcome.
EDIT: There is a traveling but it's very close and requires slo-mo. One that in real time will more than likely go missed. |
Just throwing this out there, and the time of the whistle, it doesn't look like she had started a habitual shooting motion. Just picking up a dribble doesn't necessarily constitute a shooting motion.

Rule 4.41.3 The try starts when the player begins the motion which habitually precedes the release of the ball. To me it doesn't look like she starts her shot until after the whistle. |
It looked like she carried the ball between :03 and :04
