Not necessarily true…

Rule 7
The ball becomes dead, or remains dead, when:

ART. 7 . . . A foul, other than player- or team-control, occurs (see exceptions a, b and c below).

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.
