The rule ought to be that each foot of the shooter must last touch the floor completely behind the 3pt line when jumping for a try or the shot is only worth two. That would make it clear and much simpler to officiate.

I disagree. I think that such a rule change would hamper offensive moments and take away from the grace of the game.

Let me for a minute think about the number of times that I've had to determine if a shot is a 2 or 3 as the situation presented itself in the NCAA game. I think the answer is less than 2.

And on TV? Maybe a few...
