Here's my opinion -
#1 - First of all, even if this was a 3 point try, it is where the player's FEET are when the ball is released, not where the ball is released. This means a player can have his feet behind the arc, "fly several feet in the air" and release the ball and it is a 3. Saw it in a freshman game that put it into OT. If this was not a shot -- it was viewed as lob pass by officials -- how can we count it a three? Should count for 2 since ball was tipped into basket within the arc.
#2 - this is a team technical. Player can still enter game after technical is assessed and administered.
