It's simple...if you judge the nthrow a try, it's not a BC violation. If you judge it not to be a try, it's a violation.
You could argue forever whether it's a try or not. No one will win.

And I'm not trying to win either but I'm just trying to think objectively how I would react as Trail official in this case. Trail is monitoring the player and ball which just crossed the division line. Most alley-oop passes are one hand running push passes which look pretty much like running one hand shots--and because this pass/try is pretty much on line with the goal (alley-oop). , I'm thinking that my first reaction in the case as described (actually regardless the shooter/passer's form) is going to be the three point try mechanic and as the mechanic goes up I have therefore judged this effort to be a try and I don't think I would be inclined to change my judgment.
