You are probably correct, but keep in mind that the language was a little different back then. Today we treat a tap the same as a try. Back then, a tap was treated differently than a try. I'm not talking about an uncontrolled tip while going after a rebound that somehow manages to go in the basket. I'm taking about a controlled tap. If the ball didn't come to rest in the tapper's hand, then it wasn't treated the same as a try.
