By the way, no need to come back with another "field goal is not a free throw" thing. I get it. But seeing how "field goal" is not clearly defined in Rule 4 as meaning a shot from the field... not a free throw, I wanted clarification. Heck, maybe it is and I'm not seeing it.

Actually, "try" is not defined explicitly either. We have to mesh together when it starts (
4-41 Art. 3) and when it ends (
4-41 Art. 4) to come up with a definition. But in
4-41 Art. 2, we are told that field goals are tries of the 2 and 3 point variety. And we are also told in
4-21 Art. 1 that a free throw is a "try" for goal.
