So is a free throw really a try? And does the "try in flight" provision apply?

Well, I am saying it is a try, because if I say that it is just a "throw", I believe a pass would also be a "throw" and technically a try is also a "throw". Technically the motions for a "try" and a "free throw" are extrememly similar if not identical but the motions for a pass and a free throw or a pass and a try could be extremely different and if I am going to go that far with all that thinking I believe there will now be far too too many worms in the can.
It's Friday afternoon and I have been with far toooooooooo many middle school students in a small room too long today!!!!!!!
