2 or 3 points?

[onetime1]

1) A player attempts a 3 point shot from behind the arc. The defense takes off from inside the arc and clearly blocks the shot. The shot goes in. What is the call?

2) A player from behind the 3 point arc attempts to pass the ball into the post. The defense inside the 3 point line deflects the ball into the basket. What is the call?

Read this wrong at first. If it does not touch the same team or floor it is counted as a 3.

We just had this question, and Camron talked me out of counting play 2 as a 3.

I always thought I had read somewhere if it was a pass and then touches someone inside the 2 point area, then it would be counted as 2 points.

Am I confusing two things here?

Sorry talking play 2

If it's clear that the touch by the defense is what made it go in, this is a 2.

Here's the text of 5-2-1:

A successful try, tap or thrown ball from the field by a player who is located behind the team's own 19-foot, 9-inch arc counts three points. A ball that touches the floor, a teammate inside the arc, an official, or any other goal from the field counts two points for the team into whose basket the ball is thrown.

I agree if it is apparent that A1's try is unsuccessful because it is no longer a try.

Nevermind, misread the play.

Everything except the defender.

Try or pass... doesnt matter.

I was referring to 2 but I mistakenly thought it was a try. So disregard my previous post.
