- Three (3) points when the ball was released from the three-point field goal area.

The awarding of the points is as if the ball had entered the basket.

31.3.3 If the violation is committed by a defensive player during a last or only free throw one (1) point shall be awarded to the offensive team, followed by the technical foul penalty charged against the defensive player.
As a heads-up to those of you out there who might be confused - these are FIBA rules (which is why they're numbered in metric).
