Hawks:
As I have stated before yes, this was the intent of the FED's rule change. Obviously an ally-oop is meant to be a pass not a try. This is why as I have stated the fed differentiates between a thrown ball, a tipped ball and a try. However when they made this change to include a pass that enters the basket THROWN from behind the three point line. The failed or did not want to include the fact that a thrown ball that is below the rim and legally touched, tipped, headed, etc by the defensive team counts three points as well. I assume this may change, I don't like the ruling either but I believe until they do unfortunately this is a three point award. It no where indicates that a thrown ball is the same as a try and cannot be treated as such. 5.2.1 backs this as it uses both the words try and thrown indicating that they are not the same. They failed to give the fact that the thrown ball (remember this is not a try it is a pass) touched below the level of the rim which meets the conditions of 5.2.1 is not a three point basket. IF they intended this to include a try only why in case 5.2.1C do they use the word THROWN ball instead of saying "a try from...."???
I love playing the devil's advocate on rules such as this because I truely belive that arguing within the rules such as this makes us much stronger officials!!
