Shot continuation?

[raspsa]

When exactly does shot continuation start. We've all seen countless instances where a player is driving to the basket, gets hacked with the ball in his hands and even manages to take another step before scoring a basket and having it count. In such an instance, the ref exercises his judgment that a shot is in progress and allows continuation.

Wouldn't the same apply in Finley's case? His feet had left the gound as he was in the process of executing a jumpshot. True, time ran out before the ball left his hands but maybe the refs just decided to give him continuation.
I'm really not clear on the rule. Or is it a case that time running out overrides any continuation on a hot attempt?

umm you have to get fouled to have continuation.... I dunno what continuation you are talking about lol.

I realize Finley wasn't fouled.. just trying to determine when a shot has progressed enough in the ref's mind that continuation is warranted if the attempt goes in. based on countless shooting fouls I've watched on TV. if one is in the midst of a shooting motion, even if the ball is still in the shooter's hand, continuation will probably be granted.
Now if the rulebook indeed says ball has to be out of the player's hand, that's fine with me though the actual implementation of the rule is inconsistent. Or maybe continuation just doesn't apply in Finley's circumstance though that doesn't seem logical to me.

No the shot has to leave your hands before the 00 on the shot clock, it's that simple as i said. There is no jump continuation thing, it's when it leaves the hands. If it were the game winner with no time left it would be reviewed and overturned, but since it was not it can't be and it counted because of human error, period.

On a foul yes you get continuation, but not on the shot clock. If he was fouled then yeah maybe before the clock hits 00, but he had the ball in his hands so no continuation before it leaves his hands, thats only on fouls.

Ok thanks for the clarification.

If the player dribbles the ball after the foul has been called, then there is no shot continuation.

Have you never seen basketball? Ball leaving hand before shot clock expires = good

ball leaving hand after shot clock expires = no good


I mean... it's the only thing that matters when it comes to buzzer beaters
