Fed Rules. Team A behind by one point. Two-tenths of a second left on the clock. Ball is inbounded to A1 and caught with two hands. A1 attempts a try and is fouled immediately and before clock expires.
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.
