Nebrasketball vs North Florida

I learned something watching this game.  We had a guy go up for an alley-oop, was fouled and never touched the ball.  Shot two free throws.

I find it interesting that a player can get fouled in the act of shooting...and never touch the ball.

Interesting.

I don't know how the college rulebook reads but in high school you would have to have control of the ball for a "try" to begin so it shouldn't be ruled that way in high school.

If it's the play I'm thinking it is, Morgan went up to catch the alley-oop and the North Florida defender hit his arms from behind before he was able to catch the ball.  I thought it looked like Morgan did touch the ball, but maybe not.

I was sloppy in my earlier description because a "tip" is the same as a try and that starts when you contact the ball.  So if he did touch the ball, that would be considered in the act of shooting.  (And there could be a more liberal interpretation of this in college.)

I thought he didn't touch it. But, I could be wrong.  I didn't go back and rewatch it.
