Throw or try ?
In 5.2.1 (C) a "throw" from behind the arc is touched by an opponent inside the arc and then goes into basket is still a 3 pt goal. Would this still be the case if it was clearly a pass, not a shot attempt or even a lob pass? A guy outside arc tries to fire one chest high through the middle of a zone and it hits a defender in lane and goes through hoop is a three? 4-41-2 tells us by definition a try is an attempt to score by "throwing" the ball into teams own basket. Wouldn't, as next sentence says, there be officials judgement involved that it was a pass and not a shot? Yet, I see in 5.2.1 (B) such a lob "scores three points, regardless of whether the thrown ball was an actual try for goal".
