Is this a new rule? I thought they could go in when the ball hit either the rim or the backboard. It can do either without ever being "in the cylinder".

If it just hits the backboard, don't we have a violation on the shooter?

Yup, but that's irrelevant to the question and answer. The point that Mark was making was that players on the lane can't enter the lane until the ball hits the backboard or the rim. They're too early if they enter when the ball is in the cone but hasn't hit the board or rim yet.
