That statement makes no sense either. The "pump" is not part of "any" definition of starting a try that I've ever seen or been aware of. If you think that is a definition, then find a rule somewhere and cite it. You can start a try or you can fake a try. They're two completely different things. The rule book differentiates between them also. A foul after a try is started is is a foul in the act of shooting. A foul while
faking a try is foul
before the act of shooting has begun.
Your "opinion" is not backed up either by anything in the rule or case book, or by the way the play is usually taught to be called either. I'd run your opinion by your local rules interpreter if I were you, Joe.
