So A1 attempts a try from behind the 3-point arc. B1 jumps from just inside the 3-point arc and partially blocks the try. The ball enters the basket. You are only going to award 2 points?!?! That seems really silly to me.

Hey Chuck, that was one of my questions on my little FIBA quiz a while back. Most of you ignored it, I was NOT surprised.
I am curious if the FIBA rules are older or younger than NBA, NCAA or NF rules. Obviously the game was invented in the USA (by a Canadian I might add), I would assumed that FIBA rules do not pre-date "American" rules. Does anyone know this history?
