Remember it is a violations to throw in the ball directly from out of bounds. Also remember this is a pass not a shot (from behind the 3 point line). Please give rule(s) used.

Basket interference. 2 points for Team A.

4-6-1
Basket interference occurs when a player:
Touches the ball or any part of the basket (including the net) while the ball is on or within either basket.

9.11.2 SITUATION C: Since it is a violation for thrower A1 to throw the ball directly into the basket from out of bounds, what happens if B1 touches the throw-in pass while the ball is in the cylinder above A's basket?

RULING: B1 is charged with basket interference and a two-point goal is scored. Team B is awarded the ball for a throw-in anywhere along the end lines as after a scored goal except the official shall place the ball at the disposal of a player of Team B for a throw-in from any point outside the end line. (9-2-7)

The ball was not throw into the basket from OOB, so that has nothing to do with it.

The fact that it was not a shot has nothing to do with it.

I hope you got it right.
