Correct decision from the referees. First, there was a personal foul by Black 4 before the act shooting. The penalty for this foul (4th team foul in the quarter) is a throw-in for the White team. Then, there is a different contact created by Black 4 on the same opponent once the clock was stopped, which was correctly called as an unsportsmanlike foul as this second contact was not legitimately attempting to directly play the ball within the spirit and intent of the rules (an unsportsmanlike foul cannot be disregarded). The penalty for this unsportsmanlike foul is 2 free throws for White 55 and possession of the ball for a White team throw-in at the throw-in line in their frontcourt and 14 seconds on the shot clock. This throw-in cancels the right to possession of the ball of the first foul.

Act of shooting
At the end of the 2nd quarter, the White team makes a long pass from the backcourt throw-in. White 12 receives the ball and is clearly fouled by Red 7 in the act of shooting, and a foul is called on him. At the same time, the game clocks indicates that the time has expired. Referees can review the play using the Instant Replay System to determine if the illegal contact occurred (not when the referee blows the whistle) before the red light around the board appears.

If the offense turn around, then the referee who runs to the base line has to have a look back to see if there is the new trail on his side. The centre makes it, that's why he runs to the base line and we can see that he try to show for his partner not to run down on the base line.

Unsportsmanlike
Offensive player uses his elbow consciously. Normal personal foul is too moderate to call, it is at least an unsportsmanlike one, but taking into consideration that he contacts opponent's head, an unsportsmanlike foul can also be called.

Rare situations
It's a rare situation. The foul is hard, so he should get unsportsmanlike foul. When the ball touches the floor the shot ends, and the ball goes dead. The basket is cancelled. The correct decision is: 2 free-throws and possession at side line.

Unsportsmanlike
It is a fast break. Green 14 is the only player between player with the ball and the basket. However, player is on front of his opponent when contact occurs, and it is not a tough one, cannot be considered as an unsportsmanlike act. The principle of advantage/disadvantage does not apply here, because this contact makes player with ball stop his continuous dribble. Normal DEFENSIVE foul.

Screening
Screen is legal. However, defender bumps into screener and he may have got injured. Official should decide to stop the game or not, and here they do, and since this does not put offensive team to a disadvantage it is the right way.

Administratif
Interesting situation, where the referees take the decision after watching the video. On the spot they made the basket count. Our voting tied (50-50%). Nobody is able to make a decision without the video, but after checking it the right decision would be the cancelling of basket. The reason is that the ball didn't leave the player's shooting hand when there the red sign with sound appeared.

Unsportsmanlike
Contact is irrelevant (if there is any). Unsportsmanlike foul cannot be called, because there is defender between the player with the ball and the basket. No call would have been the best call.

Verticality
Offensive player fakes a shot, and his opponent jumps up. He could fall back to floor to a place where he would not contact anyone.

A238
Act of shooting
Question is whether shooter has started the act of shooting when foul occurs. That the ball leaves the shooter's hand matters only when offensive team commits a foul. Contact takes longer here. And still applies when player starts shooting. The right call is that 3 points count, and ball stays with white team.

Correctable errors
It is not the right player that shoots the free throws. According to the rules the first free throw should be cancelled, and the ball should be given to the other team. The aim of the rules is to punish if a team wants to have a different player to shoot penalties, by misleading the referees. It's obvious that this situation is not like that. Because there are two situations where fouls could be called, the player stays on the free-throw line, because he thinks the foul was called for his benefit. The referees make the right steps by cancelling the free-throws, and asking the right player to have the shots.

Unsportsmanlike
It is difficult to decide. Defensive player is eager to hit the ball, but he reaches only opponent's wrist. It only seems to be tough, because of player's falling down, but it is actually not that relevant. Normal personal foul is the right call, but it can depend on the atmosphere of the game, unsportsmanlike fouls also can be called.

Act of shooting
As we can see in slow motion the contact happens when offensive player starts holding the ball. It is difficult to decide if he started the act of shooting or not. When it is such a border-line case then we should put that team into advantage that did not commit a foul: goal counts and one penalty should be given.
