So the combination of the horn, followed by the certainty of the try being unsuccessful, causes the ball to become dead, so any contact on the airborne shooter, who has not yet landed, after this "combination" will be ignored unless intentional or flagrant?

Even if the horn sounded and the try was certain to be unsuccessful before the contact, said contact being before the landing?

I did. I was confused by the complicating factors of the live ball/dead ball/shot/horn/unsuccessful try issue and the airborne shooter/landing issue. I am still confused.
