What is the official's call when A‑3 attempts a successful three-point shot but is legally touched by B‑1?

In this scenario, the correct call is that the goal is allowed. When A-3 attempts a successful three-point shot and is legally touched by B-1 during the shooting motion, the shot remains valid as long as the contact does not violate any rules regarding illegal touching. The contact from B-1 is considered incidental and does not impact the validity of the shot. Therefore, the score counts, and the three points are awarded to Team A. This situation is consistent with the rules, which are designed to allow for some physicality during a shooting attempt as long as it does not impede the shooter’s opportunity to make the shot or result in a foul.
