1. Team A has the ball for a throw-in at the division line. (a) A1 throws the ball in and it hits off of A1 who is behind the 3pt. line and goes through the basket. (b) A1 throws the ball in and it his off of B1 who is behind the 3pt line and the ball goes in. Do we have a 3pt goal in both cases?

No.

No, they are not shots.

No, they would still be 2 point.

Would it be a 2pt or 3pt goal? I believe it should be a 3pt. goal.

Thanks!

You would have 3 point shot because touching the ball by the defense does not change the status of the shot and where it was taken from.
