If a player is fouled while attempting a shot does the missed shot count towards his/her field goal percentage?

Field Goal Percentage

Official Official Basketball Statistics RulesBasketball Statistics Rules:

from the following:  web1.ncaa.org/web_files/stats/Stats_Manuals/Basketball/2008%20Bsk%20Stats%20Manual%20easy%20print.pdf

SHOOTING ACCURACY—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. Shooting percentages should reflect as closely as possible the accuracy of the player and his or her team. Shooting percentages should not reflect shots that failed under the influence of illegal actions.

 

The way I have been taught is the following:  If the basket is made when fouled - then a FGA/FGM is annotated.  If the basket is missed when fouled - the shooter is not penalized for a missed shot.

 

Hope this helps.
