Play 2
A1 throws ball to the basket from outside the 3pt line, ball is short of Rim and falls below Rim
In Play 2, if B3 hits the ball after it is below the Rim, we have a case play that says it is only worth two points as the try has ended.
In both plays the thrown balls do not have a chance to go in, therefore they are not considered a try (or the try has ended).
How does play 1 differ from play 2?

Play 1 is the result of A's throwing action. Play 2 is the result of B3's action.
No team control during a shot. The shot is given the opportunity to end. When it ends, the ball has no "ownership" (can't think of a better word) and the next action started is the touch by B3.
B3 cannot score a three-point goal in A's basket. No matter B3's location. If B3 got the rebound, ran out beyond A's 3-point arc and threw the ball into A's basket, it would still be 2 points. The two actions by B3 described here are treated the same by rule.
