I don't see the words "for example" in the NFHS wording -- I see the specific situation (foul) in which the ball doesn't leave the hand and it's still a try.
Let's consider a similar play: A1 jumps to try. B1 also jumps and puts his hand in the path A1 would shoot. A1 returns to the floor with the ball.
or, A1 jumps to try. A1 realizes that he's too far behind the backboard, so returns to the floor with the ball.
BOth of these are travelling, and so are the original situations crew posted.
I recently read these cases somewhere else (not a message board). I'll try to find the references.
