I think the use of the word "thrown" is probably further confusing this. I'm guessing that the original question is referring to the case usually discussed as an alley-oop. You know, A1, outside the arc, passes to A2. A2 doesn't touch it, and the pass drops through the hoop. Something about to be worth three points, there had to be a three-point "try" and if the official judged it to be a pass and not a try, it would only be worth two. I think the consensus used to be that nobody would actually award two, and now the rule has been changed (?) to make it worth three anyway.
Correct me if I'm wrong. (I'm sure I didn't have to write that to make it happen!)
