Goal? No goal? Why?

2005 NFHS: No goal. See:
The slow whistle shall be used whether the foul is committed against the player in possession of the ball or some other member of the attacking team. During a slow whistle, a shot remains a shot until: (a) it is obvious that a goal will not be scored; (b) added impetus is given the ball by any member of the attacking team; (c) possession is gained by any member of the defensive team; or(d) after hitting the goalkeeper, goal posts or crossbar, the ball is touched by any player of either team other than the defending goalkeeper, or an official.
2006 NCAA: Goal. While there was a similar rule to the above NFHS rule in the 2005 NCAA Rulebook, it's gone now with the new flag down rule. There's no justification for stopping the play here, so the goal stands.
