The three-point try ended when it was obviously short and below the ring. However, since a live ball went through the basket, two points are scored.

But if it was a pass that originated outside the 3 point line by A and it hit B in the shoulder and went through the basket, then it's 3 points according to 5.2.1 situation C.

I believe the difference is, in one situation the defender touched the ball & in the other the ball (obviously short - try ended) touched the defender.
