Article 1. A field-goal attempt (FGA) is charged to a player
any time the player shoots, throws or taps a live ball at his or her
own basket, when, in the opinion of the statistician, the player
is attempting to score a goal, with these exceptions:
(a) A FGA is not charged if the player is fouled in the act of
shooting before the ball is in flight and the goal is not
made.
(b) A FGA is not charged if there is offensive goaltending or
offensive basket interference on that shot.
(c) A FGA is not charged if an unsuccessful shot is taken near
the expiration of time for a period or for the shot clock,
and it is the statistician’s opinion that the shot was a desperation
shot and not a reasonable attempt to make a
field goal. One or more of the following factors should
exist in order to classify a shot as a desperation shot. The
shooter:
(1) Is outside the normal shooting range. A shot from
just beyond the three-point line would usually be
considered in normal shooting range while a shot at
or beyond the division line would be outside normal
shooting range.
(2) Uses an abnormal shooting motion, such as an overhand
baseball toss.
(3) Rushes or hurries the shot to beat the expiration of
time. A shot could be considered rushed or hurried if
the shooter tries to control and shoot the ball in the
same motion with not enough time to get into a normal
shooting position (squared up to the basket).
ALSO:
"A player should not be charged for a shot from the field or from the free-throw line influenced by the illegal actions of himself or herself, teammates or opponents, unless the shot results in a field goal or free throw made."
