So we have two case plays. 4.41.4B(b) the try falls below rim level, hits B on the shoulder and goes in. 2 points because the try ended when it fell below rim level. This player was trying to score 3. It was a try. But since it ended they say only 2 points.
5.2.1C--that Freddy put up. Thrown ball from behind the three-point line, touched by defender in the 2 point area, counts 3. In my example, the player on the wing wasn't trying to score, the ball wasnt even headed towards the basket. and lets add that it was not above rim level until hit by defender at free throw line. Never had a chance to go in without the contact from B.
A try is a thrown ball and a pass is a thrown ball. the ball hits the defense inside the arc on both. Why is one a two and the other a 3? sure the try fell below rim level but the pass never got to rim level without the contact.
How do we square both plays? Is there an interpretation that might say the pass had to have some chance of going in without the contact from B before it counts 3?
