The concept, however, applies: the ball remains live until the end of the try, and, as Bob mentions, a "ball fake" might have indicated that it was NOT a try. At that point, the ball is dead, and we enforce the penalty for the foul.

While a ball-fake would certainly end the try, the shooter would still get two free throws.
