Meanwhile, here is another example of the difference in touching.
A3 attempts a try for goal from inside the FT lane just prior to the expiration of time in a quarter. The try is released before the horn sounds, but defender B4 legally deflects the try after the release and after the horn has sounded. The ball still enters the basket despite B4’s deflection.
NFHS 5.6.2 Sit A informs us that this is a good goal and is scored. However, replace B4’s touching with the ball striking the floor and 5.1.1 Sit B tells us that the ball became dead and that the try does not count.

The point of that question was really about ball location, not an attempt to say that it was the same as the ball literally touching a the floor.
In the old paper test days, there were section headings that sometimes gave context to the question...something like "Ball Location". Perhaps this is from one of those days.
