For the newer officials, the reason it's not a try is that a try is defined as an attempt to throw the ball into a team's own goal. So throwing the ball into the opponent's goal still counts as two points (since a live ball passed through the basket), but is not a try.
So if a common foul occurs during the throw (at the opponent's goal), continuous motion does not apply and no free throws are awarded.
