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, White 10 gathers the ball and jumps to take a 2-point shot. As he moves the ball up above his head he is fouled by Blue 13 on his non-shooting arm just before releasing the ball. White 10 should shoot 2 free throws as he was fouled in the act of shooting.
