JR, I think I said that. My only point was that this is not a shot as stated by bob. It is not a try, it is a pass. I don't know if that would change the answer that is why I reposted with that clarification and a question. Thanks for the answer.

Maybe this will help, Footlocker. If you look at the language of rule 5-2-1, it says
"try, tap or THROWN ball". In other words, the 3-point score applies to a ball that is
thrown from outside the arc. Then note that case book play 5.2.1SitC says that
"A1 THROWS the ball from behind the three-point line...". The ruling for touching by a defender inside the arc- 5.2.1SitC(b)- says that
"three points are scored since the legal touching was by the defense". In other words, in the casebook play, A1 is throwing the ball, not shooting the ball. Does that clear it up?
