2pt or 3pt?

[BillyMac]

This situation has been debated and debated since the NFHS first introduced the three point arc, and then, shortly after, removed any rule reference to a "try".

Officials, for a short time, used to have to subjectivity decide if this a "pass" (two points) or a "try" (three points).

Quoth the raven, "Nevermore".

I say three points, even if a pass from A1 (behind the arc) bounces off of A2's head (also behind the arc) and then enters Team A's basket.

Does it meet all of the following criteria?

5-2-1 A successful try tap or thrown ball from the field by a player who is located behind the teams own 19'9" arc counts three points. A ball that touches the floor, a teammate inside the ark and official or any other goal from the field counts two points for the team into basket, the ball is thrown.

Wait, is a ball bouncing off of a player's head a "thrown ball"?

Of course, in regard to the horn sounding, there a big difference between any old "thrown ball", and a "try".
