See also 41.2 (team foul penalty), 14.3 (control of the ball) and finally 16.1.1: A goal is made when a live ball enters the basket from above and remains within or passes through the basket.

It's impossible to have a player control foul (and team control foul as well) when the ball has been released for a try.

As we can see, my piazanno in Italy and given us the correct rules references, so I do not have to look them up on my copy of the FIBA Rules Book which I keep on my hard drive.

For all intenst and purposes, the NCAA Men's and FIBA rule is the same.
