In that case, I could see the ball being dead and not counting the basket since it wasn't a legal try for goal.

Caveat - NFHS, not NCAAW.

You're close.

Touching the ball by A2 does not cause the ball to become dead. In this play, it's dead as soon as the foul occurs.

A foul causes the ball to become dead whenever there is no try involved.
