PC during try

I didn't like this question on the test b/c in the book it doesn't say PC ends during a try or tap, and of course, A1 can be charged with a PC foul during a try or tap (even after it ends).

So, as you can guess, I got this question wrong also.

But I still scored a 94.

Well, PC is only while holding or dribbling a ball. So, once the ball is released on a try ....

(And I do recognize that Try starts with the habitual motion, so it does include a period in which there is PC.)

I was ignoring the bolded rule book language b/c it doesn't help me justify my wrong answer.

A player-control foul is a common foul committed by a player while he/she is in control of the ball or by an airborne shooter.

So for the purposes of calling a foul there would have to be PC throughout a try until A1 returns to the floor, no?

Not really, but that's one way to look at it.

The rule simply states that a PC foul includes a foul by an airborne shooter. It's sort of an exception built into the definition of a PC foul. This is the sort of exception they should to for TC fouls, without extending TC to the throw in.

Absoulutely not.

For your statement to be true, they'd have to change the defintion of PC. And if they did, there'd be no need for the "or by an airborne shooter" clause.

You can have a PC foul without PC.
