EXCEPTION: The ball does not become dead until the try or tap ends, or until the airborne shooter returns to the floor, when:
a. Article 5, 6, or 7 occurs while a try or tap for a field goal is in flight.
b. Article 5 or 7 occurs while a try for a free throw is in flight.

Joel, rule 6-7-1 says that the ball is dead when a goal is made. That goal may be a try or a free throw. Note that the EXCEPTIONS that you cited above hold true
ONLY while a try for a field goal or free throw is
STILL in the air when a foul occurs. They don't apply to a foul by or on an airborne shooter that occurs
AFTER a goal is made and the ball is dead. Rule 4-19-1, as already cited, covers that.
