Question about 10 Second Call

[AdaSooner]

Some other general questions on calls. With Jordan's foul on the 3 at the end of the half, when is a player no longer in the shooting motion? Granted, Jordan shouldn't have tried to block the shot from behind, but it appeared he only hit the guy's hand well after the ball had been released and did not impede any part of the shot.

In reality, the offensive player was still in the motion of shooting when the foul occurred. The try didn't end with the release of the ball. Even if Jordan's momentum had carried him into the player after the shooting motion was over, it would not change the call.

That was not one of Jordan's finest moments. He should not have given the official a reason to blow his whistle in that situation. It's a lesson he learned the hard way, and a mistake he is not likely to make again.
