I gotta agree with the GS announcers. It depends on where the catch is made. Anywhere a good distance from the basket then yes, absolutely.
...but when you have a team like Boston, and Ray Allen catches going towards the basket just outside the 3 point line, I wouldn't ever be surprised to see the refs call a shooting fall and give 3 shots.
I know this has nothing to do with this, but on NBA 2k10 I was up 3 with 2 seconds left and I intentional fouled Melo, but the only problem is that he got the shot off and made a three. Than made the four point play to win it.:chuckles:
