I see where you are comming from and agree that it would be neat to award the three points - but you set a precident that may haunt you later -
Ex. Same game where off the opening jump ball you awarded a three-point basket for the "TAP"
4th quarter with 2 seconds to go in the game team A down 2 bringing the ball up in the back court, the ball gets away from A2 and with B2 and B3 closing in on the ball A2 swings his/her hand to tap the ball forward and hits it hard enough that it flys down court hits the backboard and goes it the basket.
Does Team A win or do we have overtime? 
of course your moment on ESPN is guaranteed for life if your game ever has this.  |
Easy here, 3 points. Closing seconds, one can easily surmise that the player was trying to get it into the basket.
In fact, if he hits it that hard, I'm willing to make the judgment that he was trying to score, no matter when in the game it happens.
