I think the difference between the two cases is exactly has been said.
5-2-1 was added to cover thrown balls (toward the basket) that may or may not have been shots. It was added to remove the need for judgement. It was NOT added to make a clear pass that is NOT towards the basket into a 3.
A thrown ball that is clearly NOT towards the basket is not the case intended to be covered by 5-2-1. That is where 4-40-4 comes in.
A pass from the top of the key to the low block that get tapped upwards by the defender and subsequently goes in is 2.
A 3-point shot that misses and is then tapped in by the defender is only two points.
We really need to understand the spirit and intent of 5-2-1 to rule on these cases properly.
