The rule books says a goal is a live ball pasisng through from above which this is. However, the next section entitled "scoring" (NFHS) says that a try, tap, or thrown ball FROM THE FIELD, is a three if behind the line. What confuses me is the words "fromt he field". Does that mean in bounds? "Field" is never defined.
Interesting observation. Just one more, possibly pointless question, does it make any difference whether you have team possesion in defining if it's a try. 'Cause even a 3 pointer is only 2 when scored at the opponents basket 'cause it ain't a try.
