That's just plain not true. Obviously you're failing to understand what Dan is saying. A touch by the defense re-directing the shot does not end the original try until it is certain that the original try has no chance of going through the basket. However, a touch by an offensive teammate with the purpose of re-directing the ball at the basket means the end of the original try and the start of a
second try. Rules 4-41-4,5,6&7.
If another offensive player tapped the ball and it went in, common sense tells you that this last tap
WAS actually a tap under R4-41. Whyinthehell otherwise would that player be up in the air altering his teammates shot? Do you really think he was trying to block his teammate's shot?
Your logic sucks in this one.
