My understanding is the ball is live when it is at the disposal of a player who is inbounding the ball. If after a violation, time-out, or any situation where the clock has been stopped and the ball is to be put into play by a throw in, if the player inbounding the ball throws it through the basket, the goal does not count. Correct?
I have looked up the definition of "goal" to see if I may have missed something. I haven't found anything new, so I'm asking you for help.

The test answer is true. FTs and the AND-1s are good examples of goals that count while the clock is stopped, but the ball is live.
It is true that PC fouls and throw-in violations cancel goals that may have gone through the basket during a live ball. But these two exceptions are not intended to make that question false.
