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
Well, the game is final when the officials leave the confines of the game. Since any post game technicals will not affect the score, they are not enforceable. So poor behavior after the game is under the purview of state specific rules or bylaws.

If, while blocking the shot, the offense and defense are pushing the ball in opposite directions then it is a held (jump) ball.

Do most poll staffers agree that the ballots are REALLY confusing?
It is a judgement call. If hitting the ball, alters the shooters arm trajectory yhen no foul. But if the defender swipes wildly and would have hit the shooter anyway, then possibly a foul.
Share Answer: 
When he hit the ball up in the air he did not have possession. When he retrieves the bouncing ball by dribbling it he gains possession. So no carrying... unless he had possession while saving the ball, highly unlikely.
