3 Rules Questions -- NFHS

[Sven]

KDM,

Brian and bob are dead on.

Your description of plays 1 and 3 are similar to the Case Book 4.40.4B Play: "A1's three-point try is short and below ring level when it hits the shoulder of: (a) A2; or (b) B1 and rebounds to the backboard and through the basket."

In such a scenario, two points would be scored because although the try had ended, a live ball passed through the basket.

The complication in your description (and it's a major one) is that a foul occurred to render the ball dead once it became clear that the try would be unsuccessful. Hence, the ball going through the basket was deceased...
