With B2 you have the whole issue of an opponent putting the ball into the wrong basket. I think we established this can not be considered a try, so the bucket from B2 would be 2 no matter where his last position is. B2 is a little sticky and leads me to the first of some better questions.
One, B2 goes to block the three by A2 and gets a little piece of it. Do we still count this as a three? If we go by the assumption that an opposing player cannot make a legal try or tip at the opponents basket, shouldnt this be only a two?
Two, what if A2 is fouled as the ball is going off his head. This clearly is not a tap or try, so what would the call be? Do you count the hoop and give him one, or waive it off and resume play after the personal.
Not to worry: If B partially blocks the shot, it is STILL a shot by A and counts 3 points if it originated behind the arc. Different, though, if it was A's teammate that deflected the ball from within the arc--2 points.
If A2 is fouled after the ball bounces off his head and before the ball goes through the hoop, the ball becomes immediately dead and does not score points. Report the foul, and proceed accordingly.
