If it's deflected by a defender, then it's a 3 regardless whether the defender was outside or inside the arc when he deflected the ball. If the ball was touched by a teammate, it's a 3 if the teammate touched it outside the arc or a deuce if the teammate was inside the arc when he touched it. Casebook play 5.2.1SitC.
