Ok, I'll give it a whirl. When the rule states "Art. 2...Touches the ball when it is touching the cylinder having the ring as its lower base" it means the ball could be anywhere within the cylinder at any height. So, if you could picture the ball hitting the rim, bouncing directly straight up in the air about 5 feet and a player grabbing the net when the ball is at its apex, you have BI because the ball is still in the cylinder that has the ring as its lower base. The ball is in the (imiginary) cylinder, and the player grabbed the net.
Poor job of explaination, but I never was good with words....
