I think there's a difference between a simple tap that you're talking about, and the tip that's a try for goal/FGA. If you have watched basketball for any about of time, it's obvious when a player is tipping the ball to score. A "controlled tip" can be in contact with the hand for a very short period of time, as in the example tref gave you were there's less than .3 on the clock. Other times, it's obvious that a player is just hitting the ball. Here, in the NBA, you'll get your simple loose ball foul unless the ball happens to go in.

Just want to be clear with the rules (NBA)... If you take your first scenario- it is irrelevant whether the foul occurred prior to or after the tip. If he misses the shot no FTs will be rewarded unless that team is in the penalty. A tip is NOT a try in the NBA... ALTHOUGH if a ball in flight toward the rim goes in you still have to score it.
If the tip happens OBVIOUSLY after the player is fouled and the ball goes in, it will still be a LBF and no shots as the ball was not released or tapped toward the goal as the foul occurred or prior to the foul occurring.
