NFHS 9-11 Penalty 1. If the violation is at the opponent’s basket, the opponents are awarded one point if during a free throw, three points if during a three-point try and two points in any other case.
A throw-in is not a try
NFHS 4-41-2 "A try for field goal is an attempt by a player to score two or three points by throwing the ball into a team’s own basket. A player is trying for goal when the player has the ball and in the official’s judgment is throwing or attempting to throw for goal. It is not essential that the ball leave the player’s hand as a foul could prevent release of the ball."
I believe that technically every throw-in starts outside the three point arc as the definition of the three point line indicates that it ends at the inside edge of the OOB line.
