It's not a waste of time to try to interpret this play.
Extreme situations will always test one's knowledge of rule definitions.
NFHS 4-4-3: A ball which is in flight retains the same location as when it was last in contact with a player or the court.
NFHS 5-2-1: A successful try, tap or thrown ball from the field by a player who is located behind the team’s own 19-foot, 9-inch arc counts three points.
NFHS 4-35-1: The location of a player or non-player is determined by where the person is touching the floor as far as being: c. Outside (behind/beyond) or inside the three-point field-goal line.
NFHS 4-35-3: The location of an airborne player with reference to the three factors of Article 1 is the same as at the time such player was last in contact with the floor or an extension of the floor, such as a bleacher.
Treat it as a pass, a hand off pass, and count it as three points.
