Two Points Or Three Points ...

So if A1, from behind the three-point line, throws a "pass" (100% certain it's a pass) to A2 who is also behind the three point line, and the ball "deflects" off the head of A2 continues in flight and goes through A's basket, it's three points?

While I'm very certain that this play will confuse more than a few coaches (possibly leading to a technical foul), I'm also a little afraid that it will also confuse a few officials.

Yes.

Also, a reminder to both young'uns and old timers that this (deflects off of the teammate's head) is three points.
