Well, we can start with rule 5-1, Goal: "A goal is made when a live ball enters the basket from above and remains in or passes through."
Then there's rule 6-1-2, Live Ball: "The ball becomes live when: a.) On a jump ball, the tossed ball leaves the referee's hand(s)."
Ok, so was it a live ball? Check. Did it pass through the basket? Check.
Yep, it counts.
Now, a question back at you: Does it count 2 or 3?
