[Back In The Saddle]

Perhaps the language could be more precise, in that it probably should specificially say that it depends on the location of the player who attempts the try. But, with that one obvious inferrence in place, the details of determing the shooter's location are clear.

SECTION 35 PLAYER LOCATION
ART. 1 . . . The location of a player or nonplayer is determined by where the player is touching the floor as far as being:
a. Inbounds or out of bounds.
b. In the frontcourt or backcourt.
c. Outside (behind/beyond) or inside the three-point field-goal line.
ART. 2 . . . When a player is touching the backcourt, out of bounds or the threepoint line, the player is located in backcourt, out of bounds,or inside the threepoint line, respectively.
ART. 3 . . . The location of an airborne player with reference to the three factors of Article 1 is the same as at the time such player was last in contact with the floor or an extension of the floor, such as a bleacher.

Okay article 2 should probably say "touching on or within the three point line" instead of just touching the three point line, but that's another obvious inferrence.
