2 or 3 points

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.
