Oh, if only you hadn't written that last sentence.

Consider A1 in a corner of the frontcourt attempting to throw a high arcing pass over the ring to A2 in the other corner. B1 jumps and deflects the pass just after it leaves A1's hands. The pass now falls short of its intended destination and ends up bouncing around on the ring. B2 jumps up and swats the ball away while it is in the cylinder.
Clearly, you don't have a try/shot here, but you do have defensive BI and award THREE points. And it doesn't matter whether B1 jumped from the 2 or 3 point area before he touched the ball.
