If player A1 standing outside the three point line attempts
a pass to player A2 in the low post, but opponent B tips the pass deflecting it in the
basket: is it a 2 pointer, 3 pointer or no basket ?
From another boards, I received alternatively the three possibilities as
corrects...!

If the pass to A1
(from A2 outside the arc) has no chance of going through the basket by itself and is then
tipped by B1 and goes through the hoop, it counts as 2 points.
There are some refs who
will award 3 points, but most here believe them to be wrong. Under no circumstances will
the basket not count and team B be given the ball OOB.

Score 2 points for team A. Had the pass gone directly in, with no
touching, the score would count as a three since the rulebook this year
no longer requires the official to judge if a ball thrown from behind
the 3-pt arc is a try. However, in this case on a deflected pass of the
defense, it is obviously no try so 2 points.
Actually there is a circumstance where it is no basket and OOB for the
other team: shot clock goes off before the ball goes in the basket and
time expiring for a quarter.
