O K i know that if the defensive team (Team B) puts the ball into Team A basket you stop the clock count the basket and give the ball to (Team B) OOB.

But what if Team B scores a basket and A1 inbounds to A2, and A2 throws a long pass to A3 down court.
The ball hits between the half court and the 3-point line and goes in.

Its not a shoot attempt but it went in do we count it or not? Is it a 2 or a 3-pointer?

------------------

Allways trying to get better!

Even if it were a try to start rather than a pass, a try ends when the ball touches the floor. Since 3-point can only be scored on a try, it can only be 2 points. Futhermore, a foul or expiration of playing time occuring before the ball is in the basket causes a dead ball. There is no delayed dead ball becasue it is not a try.

Why would you stop the clock?

Cameron is correct. If it was an attempt, the attempt ended when the ball touched the floor. If it wasn't an attempt, and it wasn't, it can't be a 3. 2 points!

Let me stir the debate! What if the pass from A2 to A3 went into the basket in the air? Is that a 2 or a 3?

>>>This has been fully discussed previously. The concensus was that you would count the 3 because it is too hard to judge intent in this case. In theory, if it is a pass, it's a two, if it's a shot, it's a three. It becomes a harder call on an alley-oop.

Is this a Davism or did you run across a new philosophy professor?

Actually, I saw it on uselessknowledge.com. I have to have something to do at work.

Speaking of Davisms - Dave's favorite quote is also one of mine: "Weaseling out of things is what separates us from the animals - except the weasel." - Homer Simpson

I'm glad to see that this board has come to this consensus. I saw where it had been discussed in a previous post. We discussed this last season on the McGriff board and a lot of people were very adamant that it should be a 2. I'm glad common sense has prevailed here!

A basket by a team in their opponents basket can never be a three, since a shot or pass that goes in the opponents basket is not a try.

A shot or pass by a team that goes into their opponents basket can never be a three pointer because an attempt at the incorrect basket is not, by definition, a try.

Not to mention that a team doesn't have a three point line in their backcourt.
