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?

I can not see how a jumper can tap the ball in the air from the center circle and the ball stay in the air until it passes through the basket. IF that was to occure then it would be 3 points. The only way that could happen is if the jumper hit the ball with a fist. Fisting is a violation.
The tapped ball could bounce really high, then go in the basket. That would be 2 points
