When a player is fouled
in the act of shooting while going to the basket, so we have a "shooting foul"
:
a.- when the player is fouled as soon as he ends the dribble; or
b.- when the player had to at least make some attempt at throwing the ball towards his basket. ?

The rule-books describe it as the "habitual motion" that
precedes a shot.
About this are we speaking ? But I don't think that it's only to "make" a
shooting movement, but to really attempt at throwing the ball, in order to be called a
"shooting
foul".

Trying to give you an example about that "habitual
motion" that precedes a shot, which is certainly possible for a shot attempt
to begin as soon as the player picks up his dribble: the
most common example is a lay up. In this instance, the player intends to shoot well
before the dribble
is picked up, but by rule, it is only a shooting foul
if the dribble has ended.

The concept that the player must make a throwing motion in
order for it to be a shooting foul seems to convey no meaning. The player must intend
to do so, but if contact prevents the
completion of the shot, it can still be a shooting
foul.
An example about this concept: A1 is a few feet away from the basket, facing the side of
the backboard. When A1 starts what appears to be a try for a goal, he is in front of the backboard and well positioned to
score. B1 illegally bumps A1 while A1 is airborne, moving A1 to a position where he is now
behind the backboard. A1 (still airborne) now realizes that a shot is impossible from
behind the backboard, so he passes the ball to A2, who is standing near the free throw
line.
The referee must call a foul on B1 and award two shots to A1, as he was in the act of shooting when the contact happened, on the contrary it would
penalize the shooter because he was smart enough to try and continue playing. The fact
that he eventually passed the ball is really of no consequence.
Every time the official judges that the player is making a continuous
attempt for goal, they get shots, no matter how early in the drive the contact occurs,
no matter in the drive is completed or no.
The
statistics register is simple: a made foul and a received foul and the result of the
free throws, simply. If there was a pass before the action, it would be registered as an assist
with foul. See in the forum Stats the posts about Basketball assists.
