    In Basketball....

    When the Defender slaps a shooters hand/wrist immediately after he has released the ball?

    -I am undecided on this. On one hand i feel like it doesn't technically divert the shot, yet on the other hand the shooter is still "in the process" of shooting. I feel like I have seen times when a shooter gets fouled after the release and still gets the And1. Any BBall OT experts have any input or did it this not make sense? lol

    It should be...in most cases, it definitely changes the ability to follow through (AKA shoot properly).

    I'm not talking about the brushing of hands, either. I'm talking about the plays where a defender's hand completely stops the momentum of the follow through.

    It is by rule, I'll let people who've played a lot of basketball talk about whether it should be

    yes, its a foul. has to be. if it isnt then it becomes a judgement call on whether or not the ball was released and what not...

    absolutely a foul... whether it dictates a players shot? sometimes yes and sometimes no... and i think thats why it is a foul

    Yes a foul, the shooter has to be able to follow through before any contact is made.
