Reference please.
Here's the NCAAW basket definition; I'm confident that FED is at least substantially the same.
Art. 1. Each basket shall consist of a single metal ring, 18 inches inside
diameter, its flange and braces,
and a white-cord, 12-mesh net, 15 to 18 inches
in length, suspended from beneath the ring.
