---------------------------------
If the buzzer went off before the bounce:
the ball would become dead as soon as it hit the ground.
If the buzzer went off after the bounce:
The basket would count.
NFHS 6-7-5:
"The ball becomes dead when time expires except while a try for a field goal or a tapped ball by a player toward their basket is in flight."
"Flight" ends when the ball hits the ground.
---------------------------------
That's my interpretation. So what did you tell the kid?

NO, IT WOULD NOT BE A THREE!
Even the rule you sited says "thrown, passed or shot." It does not say bounced. A try ends when it touches the floor. If it then vbounces into the basket, it would count as 2 points.
4-40-4
The try ends when the throw is successful, when it is certain the throw is unsuccessful, when the thrown ball touches the floor or when the ball becomes dead.

BktBallRef nails another one!
No three, count two points.
