the definition of a try also tells us a try for field goal is an attempt by a player to score two or three points by throwing or tapping the ball into his basket. if the player is able to release the ball and by doing so, they throw the ball towards a teammate, ie they pass the ball, they have not, are not, were not by definition shooting the ball, thus no free throws.
