If the try ends and/or if a different player commits BI incident to the dunk try, then we have a different story.

Got a rules citation for that because I don't agree.
My understanding is that once the ball breaks contact with the player's hands the offensive player is subject to being penalized for BI if the ball does anything other than immediately proceed through the basket.
And there are Case Book rulings to support my thoughts.
