Um, no, both Dan and I are saying that if a teammate of a shooter touches the ball so that it's redirected into the basket, that act is an obvious tap, which is the same as a "try". There is
NO other reason for the shooter's teammate to touch the ball. That would be a second try iow. Therefore the first try ended with the teammate's tap.
In real life, disregarding some stoopid twp that'll never happen in a million years,
NO player is ever going to jump up in the air in front of a teammate shooting the ball and get a hand up to touch the shot
unless he was trying to tap the ball into the basket. That's just common sense. Whoa! Let me amend that; that's not a correct statement. To Dan and I, that's common sense. Obviously, you disagree.
