Agree. I'm probably ruling three points on this video (after a discussion with my partner and the head coaches). If the ball falls below ring level that may be another story.

Keep in mind that when the three point arc was originally drawn on the court, it had to be a try for three points (this has since changed), an alley oop pass from behind the arc that accidentally went in was only two points back then. Some officials may still have that in the back of their head.
