Pass hitting player and going through basket
Hello,
I was thinking of a few different scenarios and needed some opinions on the correct ruling.
1. Team A has the ball for a throw-in at the division line. (a) A1 throws the ball in and it hits off of A1 who is behind the 3pt. line and goes through the basket. (b) A1 throws the ball in and it his off of B1 who is behind the 3pt line and the ball goes in. Do we have a 3pt goal in both cases?
What if time expires after it hits off of A1 or B1 but before it goes through the basket?
Does any of this change if this is a pass from A1 who is dribbling the ball in-bounds at the division line?
What would be the ruling if A1 attempts a 3-point shot, but the shot is short and B1 accidently tips the ball in (after the try or tap for goal is judged to be unsuccessful, so we would not have any Basket Interference or Goal Tending)? Would it be a 2pt or 3pt goal? I believe it should be a 3pt. goal.
Thanks!
