Touched by a defender, either inside, or outside, the three point line, is easy. Three points.
More interesting would be if the
pass was deflected by another
offensive player who was also outside the three point line.
I say three points, even if the pass was deflected off of his head.
Even more interesting would be if the end of period horn sounded as the passed and deflected ball was in flight on its way to the basket after deflecting off the second offensive player. No points.
