Now re-read the rule:
"A successful try, tap [B]or thrown ball from the field by a player who is located behind the team's own ...arc counts three points."

So yes, the 3-point try had ended. NO IT DIDN'T . . . IT WASN'T A TRY, IT WAS A THROW-IN PASS. But it is still a thrown ball from the field outside the 3-point arc NO IT WASN'T . . . IT WAS THROWN FROM OUT-OF-BOUNDS, NOT "FROM THE FIELD." The case here actually contradicts the rule. I DON'T THINK IT DOES.
I was just hoping the casebook citation would have included the defender standing outside the arc also.
