If A1 is fouled during this act, it's still not a shooting foul nor is it subject to goaltending.
Camron - my only guess is that the NF wants to take the subjectivity out of whether is was a try or not by treating it as if it automatically was - the same way they now rule that any ball that goes in that teams basket that was thrown from behind the 3 point line counts as 3 points, even if it was obvious that it was meant as a pass.

As to not calling a shooting foul or goaltending, that might be a hard sell because of the "not a dribble" ruling.
