Yes. THere are case plays on "tapping" the ball to the basket (most, I think, occur on a rebound at the end of a period). The same logic applies.

If I recall correctly, over twenty-five years ago, a tap was not treated the same as a try, i.e., no control on a tap. I was glad when they changed the rule so that both are treated the same.
