I don’t have to rules in front of me to verify, but I don’t see where anyone has quoted the rulebook as stating that a ball going into the hoop off of what we consider a pass, to be only two points, no matter where it came from. (I’m going from memory here but) In fact doesn’t the book state that a ball which enters the hoop from beyond 19-9 is considered three points?

I guess I’m confused. By rule, not common sense, why would we not award the three? In this situation I can see myself giving two points only if I am not completely sure the shot/pass came entirely behind the arc. Also, has anyone found a casebook example?
