Well much like the burden of proof lies with the prosecution, I think I'm going with a shot until proven a pass.
It didn't make it to the ring level but was falling....with no chance to enter. It was not going in. I think that is the relevant point from the case.

You're to judge shot over pass when there is ambiguity...no guessing the intent. But point of the case above is that when it is clear that it is not going in, any possible shot is over. We still judge the end of the "try"/"throw".
