The correct ruling is that this counts for three points. If your interpretation of 4-4-4 were correct, this would only be two points since the ball would have "hit" the floor when it bounced off B1's head.

I can't believe what I just read. The play mentioned is in NO way a 3-point shot. The rule that makes a thrown ball a 3 if it goes in only applies to throws that arguably could be a try. A clear pass that is deflected into the basket is not considered a 3. If a ball that is thrown from outside the 3-point arc is touched in the lane there are 4 possibilties (that I can think of).
- The shot was missed...the try is over
- Basket Interference
- Goaltending
- It was not a try, but a pass
Either the first or the last applies. 2 points if it goes in.

A1 passes to A2 from Team A's backcourt. A1 threw the ball to hard...basketball goes through Team A's basket in the frontcourt.
Whatta ya got? 2pts. or 3pts.?

If it goes directly in the basket, 3. If it is below the rim and hits A2 then goes in, 2 points.
That is the purpose of the new rule. We don't have to figure out if it was a pass or shot when it goes directly in. It has not changed effect of a shot/pass that falls below the rim and then is deflected in. The original "try" has ended and the score is by the player who deflected the ball.
