20 Years Experience
Chicago, IL
Male, 60
For twenty years I officiated high school, AAU and park district basketball games, retiring recently. For a few officiating is the focus of their occupation, while for most working as an umpire or basketball referee is an avocation. I started ref'ing to earn beer money during college, but it became a great way to stay connected to the best sports game in the universe. As a spinoff, I wrote a sports-thriller novel loosely based on my referee experiences titled, Advantage Disadvantage
I dont know about fiba but in nfhs thst is true.

As you descibe it, no I would not call it a foul because if you did not hit the wrist the result would be the same...blocked shot.
Share Answer: 
Once a violation, always a violation. The referee should hold a fist straight out indicating a delayed violation. If the free throw does not go in, it is shot again.

What's the craziest unprofessional-phone-rep story you've ever heard?
Yes, if it is deemed unintentional. In the rulebook.it is called a muff.

Ok, so first a player is in the act of shooting from the time they start the habitual act and motion of a shot to its completion (i.e.. lifting the ball with an arm movement on a layup, raising your forearm while the ball is in your palm to start a shot, etc. to full release AND followthrough, regardless of being on the floor or in the air.
Next, there is a special definition of an "airborne shooter". This is a shooter who has begun OR ended the habitual motion of a shot while in the air. Once the airborne shooter's feet touches the floor, he is no longer in the act of shooting. So an airborne shooter is afforded a shooting foul if he is fouled after release until he hits the floor. If fouled after release of the ball and after the shooter touches the floor, it is a non-shooting foul.
