Count It ...

A ball that touches the floor, a teammate inside the ark and official or any other goal from the field counts two points for the team into basket, the ball is thrown.

Wait, is a ball bouncing off of a player's head a "thrown ball"?
If we would count it (bounce off the head) for two, then we should also count it for three (behind the arc).

It's certainly not a "try", but it is a "thrown" ball.
