Release For a Try ...

Thanks Raymond. Great point.
So even if one were to consider this to be a throwing for goal, or a throwing for goal attempt, it's not the try itself, but it's only the actual release of the ball for a try, not a fumbling of a try (the release of a fumble), that allows the shooter to retrieve one's own airball.
The rule doesn't say: If the player jumps, neither foot may be returned to the floor before the ball is released on a fumble.
I see your point but I also see the real need for this annual interpretation to simplify and clarify such. Too bad the NFHS didn't consider this annual interpretation important enough to permanently be in the casebook.
