This is an example of a player fouled in the act of shooting who was stationary at the time of the shot and has started his upward motion. This example focusses on a player who is not in motion when they have received the ball and considered a stationary shooter. Purple 22 has received the ball in a stationary position.

Orange 5 has his hand extended forward as Purple 22 starts his upward motion with his arms to commence the shooting motion. Orange 5 commits illegal contact and fouls Purple 22. The offence has started their upward motion prior to the illegal contact and this foul is correctly called as act of shooting.
