Fouling airborne shooter when ball is dead... ?

I think this is one of the questions I missed on the exam. Would you, or anyone, be so kinds as to cite where this is covered in the rule book?

The elbow violation is 9-13. The provision keeping the ball alive after a foul but during a try is 6-7 EXCEPTION.

There is no case play exactly like the one Scrapper mentions, afaik.

That's actually what I was looking for. Rules book is packed in the bag in the car so don't have a chance to look at it right now. Thanks,

9.13.1 The ball has been released on a field goal try or tap by A1 towards A's basket. A2 excessively swings arms or elbows without contacting an opponent. The ball goes through the basket.
RULING: The official will sound the whistle immediately for a violation. The ball is dead, the goal is not scored.

The question I was referring to was something to the effect of:

B2 excessively swings elbows after A1 has released the ball on a field goal try. The ball becomes dead immediately. True or False.

I answered False but did not find the exact rules citation.

Unless something has changed, I believe that caseplay explains it well.

Ohh B2? Count the bucket & A's ball at the spot nearest the violation.

The VHSL quarantine period is over and you can see your completed test as of midnight yesterday. IIRC, your incorrect answers have appropriate rules citations listed, but you might want to confirm with someone who got an answer wrong...

Thanks, I checked my results online and it does give the rules citation. I got this question correct but did miss 6 unlike the perfect among us.

Aw well, at least my 94 still qualifies me for post season games.
