It's a three.
The player's status where he last touched the floor. The player effectively tapped the ball from behind the 3 point arc.
This happed 2-3 years ago in an NCAA tourney game (Kentucky vs someone). Long shot put up near end of first half...long rebound. Saul Smith running, from outside, leaps from behind 3-point arc and, while in the air several feet inside the arc, catches the rebound and immediately shoots it before landing. The buzzer sounds as ball is in mid-air and the refs count it.
TV indicates 2 points. Cut to commercial and the studio for halftime.
After a while, the annoucners come back on to say that the refs go together and and decided it was a 3. (Not sure when they got together...in locker room or before leaving the floor).
