BI is a violation that occurs when a player touches the ball while it's in the imaginary cylinder having the rim as it lower base, touches the ball or basket (ring or net) while the ball is in or on the basket, reaches through the basket from below to touch the ball, or, causes the ring to vibrate where the ball contacts the ring before the ring returns to its normal position. Forgive me for not having the exact terminology but I don't have my rule book handy.

If an offensive player commits BI, cancel any goal and award the ball to the opponent for a throw in. If a defensive player commits BI, score the goal (like a goaltending violation).

Stan, Coach's question was a rhetorical one, and his attempt at humor.
