The correct ruling is that this counts for three points. If your interpretation of 4-4-4 were correct, this would only be two points since the ball would have "hit" the floor when it bounced off B1's head.

I can't believe what I just read. The play mentioned is in NO way a 3-point shot. The rule that makes a thrown ball a 3 if it goes in only applies to throws that arguably could be a try. A clear pass that is deflected into the basket is not considered a 3. If a ball that is thrown from outside the 3-point arc is touched in the lane there are 4 possibilties (that I can think of).
- The shot was missed...the try is over
- Basket Interference
- Goaltending
- It was not a try, but a pass
Either the first or the last applies. 2 points if it goes in.
