SECTION 11 CONTINUOUS MOTION
ART. 1 . . . Continuous motion applies to a try or tap for field goals and free throws, but it has no significance unless there is a foul by any defensive player during the interval which begins when the habitual throwing movement starts a try or with the touching on a tap and ends when the ball is clearly in flight.

While that is the definition straight from the book, the NFHS actually messed it up. They wrote "any defensive player" when they should have written "any opponent" because the foul could be committed by a non-player.
For example, if opposing coach or other bench personnel commits a technical foul during the continuous motion time frame that should not cancel the try.
6.7 Comment on page 49 of the Case Book words it better.
"Continuous motion is of significance only where there is a personal or technical foul by B after the trying or tapping motion by A1 is started and before the ball is in flight."
