The debate is not over a try or a tap with less than three-tenths of second. That is understood. Is the shooter still protected on a try even though the try would be disallowed?

Bob J. would you please chime in on this one?

It's a common foul, or, possibly, an intentional personal foul. This falls under the Department of Tautology. By definition, the player with the ball is not shooting. See 5.2.5 SITUATION C for details.
