You make the call.....

The three-point shot is "good" for teams that run an offense to get someone open on the outside. I don't think it was intended for "last second desperation heaves". So, I'd either make them not a try, or call it a try but it's only worth two points.

I don't think that was the intent when the shot was created. I think the intent was to force defenses further out to the permiter to open up the court and help the game be more fluid. But I agree the intent was never for heaves and have thought whether 3s should only be from the front court. (I cringe everytime I hear someone suggest backcourt heaves should be 4 points...)
