Well, that's the rule
now. It wasn't always that way though. About 25 years or so ago, a try did end if it was touched
after the horn sounded. I had that exact call a year before the rule changed. High school varsity game....visiting team B leading by 1 in the 4th.....A1 shoots......horn sounds....B1 then barely gets a finger-tip on the ball right at the top on the way up....ball goes in..... home crowd goes wild.....I (trail) wave the shot off and head for the hills.....home crowd goes wilder- as does their coach.
