Shooting Foul, contact occurs on upward shooting motion Shooting Foul, contact occurs on upward shooting motion
“This is an example of a foul that occurs in the act of shooting, and it would NOT be considered a rip through. The offensive player, Kawhi Leonard, initiates contact with the extended arm of the defender, Aaron Gordon, after Leonard has started his upward motion to shoot. This is a foul in act of shooting. This is a legitimate basketball move by Leonard, as he was facing the basket, and he was in his natural upward motion when the illegal contact occurred.”
