The way I understand it, if he had attempted to tap towards the basket, count the points. If he wasn't, then the basket doesn't count.

It's a judgment we'd have to make, and one for which A3 would get the benefit of the doubt. It would have to be obvious he wasn't trying to tap it in the basket before I'd wave the basket off.
Given the situation in the OP, considering the time remaining, I think it would really take something unusual before you wouldn't consider it a tap.

Okay, let's take it a step further...

Last-second rebounding fury toward Team A's basket...

*A-1 taps the ball, which goes off B-2's head, buzzer sounds, ball goes in.
*B-1 taps the ball, which goes off A-1's head, buzzer sounds, ball goes in.

Basket good in the first example, no good in the second?

Is A1's tap a tap for goal, or is he just flailing at the ball? Sounds like he's probably trying for goal with a tap, so count it.
Correct on the 2nd, no good.

Had Judtech's situation been over whether the goal should be worth 2 or 3 points, then I could understand, but for an official to completely discount the goal simply because it deflected in off the opposing team is insane.

In all of his many years of experience has he never seen a player put the ball in the wrong basket? Perhaps he canceled all of those as well.

Presumably, it goes off the players head in each case while coming down after the tap. If so, no goal in either case. A1's try ended when it passed back below the rim (if it ever made it above the rim) and B-1's is not even a try. If A1's tap hit B2's head on the way up, B2 must be one very tall person.

Woah woah woah . . . What are we saying here. That McDonalds lied to an entire generation of children. That Larry and Micheal bouncing balls over bridges, off ceilings, heads, and anything else they could find for the last burger were not shot attempts.

So not only do they make the world fatter, they are encouraging not really shooting shots despite them going in???
