Note that I've changed the interpretation above to delete any reference to "short".

You cant remove the word "short" -- when the ball is short and DESCENDS below the ring height, the original throw / try ends. Ans subsequent deflection/ rebound into the basket is two points.
If the ball is "on the way up" and is deflected while STILL below the height of the ring, it's still a try / throw and worth three points.
IOW, stop focusing only on the location of the ball relative to the ring and start focusing on the whole play.
