That might be just about the dumbest quote that I've ever seen on this forum. The foul that was committed knocked the ball out of the shooter's hands. Now, you're basically trying to tell me that a try isn't a try.
I don't think that I'm gonna try and argue with that kind of logic any longer.

Because the rule book states that the player must be throwing the ball toward the goal to be a try, as I referenced earlier. I see nothing in this case that states that the player lost control of the ball (the first time) because he was attempting to throw for a goal. The ball was lost because the defender knocked it out. A defensive player can't initiate a try.

This is simple, answer these two questions:
A1 goes up, B1 hits him, the ball comes out and A2 tips it in, does it count?
A1 goes up to tip the ball and is fouled by B1, on the way back down A1 tips it again and the ball goes in, does it count?
