How can you possibly say that the try has ended when the ball hasn't left the shooter's hand? You have no way of knowing the try won't be good until it leaves his hand. You've never seen a shot blocked that didn't still leave the shooter's hand and had a chance to go in?

Point is, until it leaves his hand, you can't know that it's not going in, unless you have ESP! And when it leaves his hand, TC ends.

Whoa...I think I'm getting dizzy....
