So suppose A1 heaves a midcourt shot. It falls way short and bounces off B2's head (which is well below the ring). It then bounces up and into the basket. According to 5-2-1, this should count as 3 b/c it went in without touching the floor, a ref or another member of Team A.
But most of us think it should be 2 for the reasons you state. Unfortunately, the two rules contradict. [/B]

Whatinthehell are you talking about? Three points?
Read 4.40.4SitB(b). It counts as 2 points. [/B][/QUOTE]
You need to read 5.2.1.C because that one says it counts 3.
