I tend to agree with Mark essentially on the wording and the fact that it does specifically use the word TRY. If we are going to just assume that BI/GT applies to any thrown ball then the word TRY must be eliminated from the definition.
And just as my own little editorial, I'm against the wording that allows any THROWN ball from 3pt range to be scored. I think that this defeats the purpose of the definition and application of TRY. If A1 is passing the ball to A2 for the "throw down" and A1 is fouled while behind the 19'9" line should we start considering giving him 3 FT's for this. I think the intention of adding the "Thrown ball" provision was good, but creates alot of application controversy.
