I originally thought this, too, but I think it is incorrect reasoning. By definition, a try for goal is a 2 or 3-point shot, and a FT is not a try.

That was my first reaction as well Mark, but the rule says try for a goal, not try for a field goal. And:
Quote:
Section 31. Goal
Art. 1. A goal shall be made when:
a. A live ball that is not a throw-in enters the basket from above and
remains in or passes through, or
b. A free throw enters the basket from above and remains in or passes
through.
