Hawks Coach,
Once the try begins, you have a try even if the player looses the ball because of a foul. The try ends when the throw is sucessful, it is certain that the throw is unsuccessful, the ball touches the floor or when the ball becomes dead. If the ball was dislodged before the throw could be completed, note I am talking about the throw, I don't see the try as having ended.

I don't see that this says the try has ended because the ball is dislodged as opposed to thrown.

My visual is a player bring the ball up to shoot a short jumper, defense knocks the ball loose with a foul, while player and ball are still in the air player reacquires ball and shoots. The ball was not released or thrown for the try but the player was obviously in the act of a try.
