Tough Call 3: Pinar Karsiyaka v Hapoel Bank Yahav Jerusalem - Foul not in the act of shooting

Red 32 drives to the basket when the referee calls a personal foul on White 21 and considers that the act of shooting has already started. Therefore, the referee awards two free throws to Red 32. Article 15.1.3 The act of shooting in a continuous movement on drives to the basket or other moving shots begins when the ball has come to rest in the player’s hand(s) upon completion of a dribble or a catch in the air and the player starts, in the judgement of the referee, the shooting motion preceding the release of the ball for a field goal. Outcome: Incorrect decision from the referees. When the illegal contact occurred, the ball had not come to rest in the player’s hands yet. Red 32 still bounced the ball once more and then grabbed it. The act of shooting had not started yet. The Red team should have been awarded a throw-in from the place nearest to where the foul occurred.
