Well, a tap is a try for goal. I do not think there is a conflict, just saying that on a tap (specifically) starts when the ball touches the hands. The hibitual motion basically already has the ball in the hand.

It is semantics and I get the confusion, but I think they are talking about two different kinds of events.

Peace

This new wording seems to conflict with 4-41-3 which remains unchanged, "The try starts when the player begins the motion which habitually precedes the release of the ball".
Can anyone make some sense out of the change to 4-41-7? Seems like they just got carried away with the other insertions of the word "field" before goal and changed this when they shouldn't have.
You are right. It fundamentally conflicts with 4-41-3 and is incorrect.

Per the NFHS Basketball Rules Interpreters meeting (which occurred earlier today), there will be a correction forthcoming on this to delete the added words.

Your assumption regarding the initial change is also correct....editorial over-zealousness where search and replace did too well of a job.
