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.  |
It's a three. It doesn't matter if it's a try. It only matters where A touched it last (assuming the ball doesn't hit the floor between the time A touches it and the ball goes in the basket). See all the cases 5.2.1A through 5.2.1D
