After reading some of the articles on officiating.com regarding this new rule, I would have to agree with Richard that 3 points will be scored regardless of whether the ball hits the floor before it bounces into the thrower's/shooters basket (as long as the throw or shot took place behind the 3-point line).

The new rule clarification is only to eliminate the possibility of an official ruling that a ball that went in was a pass, not a shot. It does not change the definition of a try, which ends when the ball hits the ground. If what you say above is correct (and it is not), then you would get horn continuation on a ball that hits the floor, too.
