You do have a good point. The term "gathered" or the phrase "gathered the ball" appears nowhere in either rule- or casebook. It does, however, for many, serve as an apt description of what occurs "when the player begins the motion which habitually precedes the release of the ball" (4-41-3), which starts the try.

Referee Magazine's recent article (November 2011, p. 17,19, "Hoop and Some Harm ('And 1')) did a rather good job of describing exactly what your question refers to.
