I think what's more definitive is that it's not a goal because it didn't go through the hoop.
Yes, but the question was "would it count if it did go through the hoop", Mr. Smartypants!!

And the answer is no, as ECR said, b/c the try ends when it's clear that it will be unsuccessful. If the ball then bounces back up toward the goal, it's no longer a try. So since the horn has already sounded, the ball is dead.
