This is an example of a player fouled in the act of shooting on a perimeter shot. The offence in this situation is progressing with the ball so the act of shooting starts when the ball is gathered and there is a continuous motion toward the opponent’s basket. In this example, Black 11 gathers the ball and jumps to take a 2-point shot. As he moves the ball upward to shoot, he is fouled by Purple 8 just before releasing the ball. Black 11 should shoot 2 free throws as he was fouled in the act of shooting.
