While a try touching the floor is indeed one criteria that can end a try, it ends before that....when it is certain that it will be unsucessful. They may even occur at any point after it is released. For example, a full court shot that is clearly going to land several feet before basket is over as soon as that can be determined.

I'll defer on the GT question to not spoil JR's fun.
