Can you shed anymore light on this for me. Thanx again.

Shawn, it doesn't matter
where it bounces.
If it bounces, the 3-point try is over.
The language in 5.1.1 is very explicit-- "The tap or the try for for field goal by A1
ends when the ball
touches the floor but a field goal is sometimes not the result of a tap or try".
Rule 5-2-1 is also very explicit--"A ball that
touches the floor....counts
two points for the team into whose basket the ball is thrown".
