Offensive foul, offensive player holds defender Foul in the act of shooting, foul occurs AFTER the gather on drive Foul NOT in the act of shooting, foul occurs BEFORE dribbler has gathered
“This is an example of a defensive foul that occurs with the offensive player in the act of shooting. The defensive player, Kyle Filipowski, reaches in and hits the arm of the offensive player, James Harden, after the offensive player had gathered the ball. Because the gather marks the beginning of the continuous shooting motion on drives to the basket, this is a foul in the act of shooting.”
