Jimmer Fredette, of Sacramento, is hit on the follow through as he tries a three pointer for Sacramento at the end of the game against the Utah Jazz in Salt Lake City, Saturday, Jan. 28, 2012. Earl Watson of Utah defends. (Ravell Call, Deseret News)
I would be more impressed if the ball was in his hands. Hitting a guy on the arm after the ball has left his hands is not going to change the shot.
Hmmm..that shot's a lot more ambiguous to say the least.
I have never liked the foul on the followthrough rule anyway. After the ball has left the fingertips it doesn't effect the shot unless you want to claim the shooter is flinching. Getting hit would explain just how bad that miss was, but of course then again I've seen Peja Stojakovic and Kevin Martin airball clutch jumpers, and they both have proven a lot more than Jimmer as NBA shooters, so who knows. I'd need to see that first angle a half a second earlier to be sure.
I think they are both from the same camera, shot just a second apart. I don't think Jimmer got fouled on the shot. I thought he rushed it.
Yeah and if he didnt rush it he probably woulda been at the free throw line
Ray Allen is doing that this year also. Steve Kerr did it several times throughout his career. Guys who can shoot and whose main job is spotting up for open 3s will do it sometimes.Odd stat. Jimmer is shooting a higher percentage on threes than he is on twos. That's gotta be a pretty rare occurrence.

I don't know if he was fouled on the last shot or not. I do believe however that Jimmer has yet to get a call to go his way in his young NBA career. Tonight, he was knocked to the floor on several occasions, yet no foul was called.
Being a rookie in the NBA has got to suck sometimes.
Yeah, I know that doesn't sit well for those that are in the win now frame of mind. The only advice I can give to those people, whose pain I understand, is never look back, always look forward.

Ball was gone.Jimmer's arm got pushed to the left, and his shot ended up going off to the left. Probably not a coincidence - he was clearly fouled.
Oh well, get up and move on. Get a win tonight.
Ball was gone.
Ok but it never gets called like that.Either way it doesn't matter it is still a foul. Should have been called a foul.
"The act of shooting starts when, in the official’s judgment, the player has started his shooting motion and continues until the shooting motion ceases and he returns to a normal floor position."
