I'm glad. I wasn't cranky, just making a point, "anal" as it may be.

Let me pose a variation, though ...

JR gave you the right answer for your variation, but let me pose one of my own. If it's obvious, then please forgive me, but here goes.
If the bounced ball (not really a "try", as JR pointed out) goes in the basket before the horn or a whistle sounds, then it's 2 points. Even though the "try" ended when the ball hit the floor, it's still a live ball, so if it goes in, you'd still credit the team with the two points. And it's only two points, even if the original try came from beyond the 3-point arc.
And in yet another variation, if the ball bounces (so it's not a "try") up onto the rim or in the cylinder and is touched by a player, then that's basket interference -- even tho it's not a shot or "try". If the defense touched it, give 2 points to the offense. If the offense touched it, the ball is dead and no points are scored.
