CONTINUOUS MOTION WHAT? | NFHS Basketball Rules

Basketball referees need to fully understand continuous motion basketball. The rules are very specific when it comes to continuous motion. We offer a review of the rule and why it may be confusing to basketball referees.

continuous motion. Basketball referees have a hard time talking about it or defining it. Let's take a look at the definition of continuous motion which is found at our very good friend rule number four the most important rule in the National Federation of High School Rules Book. Rule 4-11 is going to define what continuous motion is now there are a lot of rules in the rules book if we look at this rule maybe we have a clearer understanding of why people may have a hard time discussing it.

"continuous motion applies to a try or tap for field goals and free throws but it has no significance unless there is a foul by any defensive player during the interval which begins with the habitual throwing movement starts a try or with the touching on a tap and ends when the ball is clearly in flight.
