T DID have a foul prior to L. There is not enough information here to know whether there were multiple contacts or they saw the same contact and disagreed about whether the try had started. Either way, it seems to me that since T says foul before the shot, the ball should be considered dead on the foul called by the L.

This is not even a question of rules, but a question of what were the test writers thinking. I was already thinking that if I see this on the test, the safe answer is true, and the responses here reinforce that opinion.
