Some of the possible confusion surrounding this question, especially among old timers, may have to bring us for a long walk down memory lane.
About thirty years ago, the NFHS differentiated between a tap, and a try. If a player was fouled in the act of a try, the basket, if good, counted, and the player received one, or two, (no three point line back then) free throws, depending on if the ball went in the basket, or not.
A tap was handled in a completely different manner. If a player was fouled in the act of a tap, the basket wouldn't count if it went in. If the fouled player's team was in the bonus, he was awarded one and one (no double bonus back then), if not, his team got the ball for a throwin at the spot closest to the foul.
I'm sure that Mark T. DeNucci, Sr. will be moseying along shortly to confirm, or deny, my statements.
