Even if it were a try to start rather than a pass, a try ends when the ball touches the floor. Since 3-point can only be scored on a try, it can only be 2 points. Futhermore, a foul or expiration of playing time occuring before the ball is in the basket causes a dead ball. There is no delayed dead ball becasue it is not a try.
