just another thought on this situation.

If a player takes a shot at the wrong basket from behind the 3-point arch, and hits the shot. Yes points are awarded to the other team -- but only 2 points -- as the players actions are by definition not a shot attmempt, because the player was not shooting at the proper basket. On the same note, if this player were to have been fouled while making this "shot attempt" it would be a common foul, not a shooting foul, and his/her team would be awarded the ball out of bounds or given bonus free-throws.
