Not true.
A try begins when a player brings the ball up to his hands and begins to perform a jump shot or layup. (I was going to say something about jumping, but then the image of Zadrunas Ilgauskas came into my mind
) Dribbling the ball is not part of the motion habitually used to shoot. The motion for a pump fake IS the same motion as habitually used...thats what makes it a fake. But a pump fake fits the definition of a try. Can you apply retroactive logic to something to determine if it applies? Do you blow your whistle when you see a foul, but wait to see what happens before you determine the type of foul? The evidence must be concurrent. The issue is whether a pump fake is part of a shot and what is the difference between a pump fake foul and a foul where the player never releases the ball because he heard the whistle.
No one would ever imply that dribbling was part of a shot.
