2 or 3 points

Why are we treating this any different than a blocked shot and count this a three?

Does this have impact on the correct answer to the OP?

5.2.1C(b): A1 throws the ball from behind the three-point line. The ball is legally touched by . . . B1 who is in the two-point area. RULING: ...three points are scored since the legal touching was by the defense and the ball was thrown from behind the three-point line.

Because this is a "successful try, tap, or thrown ball from the field by a player who is located behind the team's own 19' 9" arc..." (5-2-1), might it count as three points?

(Might want to shadow Rut on this one)

This is one of the two plays I mentioned. There's another at end of rule 4. A1 shoots ball from beyond 3 line. it falls below rim level and hits B1 on the shoulder. Bounces up in basket. Ruling: 2 points. 4.41.4b

But if it hits the rim and does not go in the basket the shot clock would not be reset if one were being used.

I'm aware of two case plays. Not sure if there are any other interpretations.

It was not a shot attempt, it was a pass. If the official cannot determine if it was a pass or not, I would score the 3, but in the OP score 2.


EDIT: Upon further review, I stand corrected. Good catch Rut, I would've kicked this one.

Because a three-point try ends when it's obviously short. If it were a pass cross court it's obviously short and going the wrong way.

I originally read this like it was an alley-opp type pass. If that is not what the OP meant, I agree it would only be a 2 point shot. And I do not have a good answer if it is not. I just know that they said that a shot/pass that was behind the 3 point line and goes in was to be treated like a shot and counts as a 3. They used to allow us to make a judgment either way.

I'm trying to imagine an alley-oop that goes from wing to wing across the free-throw line. LOL

You have never seen a corner to corner pass?

I have, but that's not what happened in the OP as I understood it. In what you just said I could maybe see scoring 3 points.

I'm sure you can't even imagine it. Wing to wing with a defensive player hitting the ball at FT line was the play.

This is what you said in the OP and it makes sense. Just a crazy basket.
