Boy, with the wording of that scoring rule saying "or THROWN ball that does not touch the floor, a teammate or official......." i hope it never happens on my watch with a coach who is a bookworm. Especially after reviewing 04-05 casebook 5.2.1 Situation C (b) which states "A1 THROWS the ball from behind the three point line. The ball is leglly touched by: (b)B1 who is in the 2 point area"
Sorry, but if we are using the rulebook, it is a 3.
Next.

Right. The position of the defense doesn't matter -- only the position of the offensive player who last touches the ball.
The NCAA interp is a little different (if the thrown ball has any chance of going in the basket, 3 points. If it doesnt -- ball thrown in a direction well away from basket, ball below basket and heading down, etc -- score 2 points).
