B2 gets the backside rebound and gets a tip off right before the buzzer. The ball hits high off the backboard, then the front of the rim and bounces straight up about 4-5 inches. As the attempt is being made, defender A1 has jumped from about midway in the lane towards the basket. Realizing that it's too late to block the shot, A1 grabs and bottom of the net and pulls down on it, causing the entire basket to come down and spring back up (Important Note: Not the rim, but the entire basket mechanism. This was one of those portable college type baskets where the entire hoop can sort of "sink" on a hard dunk...this is exactly what happened here). As the basket springs back up, the front of the rim makes contact with the ball on the way down, causing it to not go in the hoop. C comes in w/ BI, and Team B wins by 1.
Does anyone NOT have BI here?

Another good question might be why nobody has a "T" on A1 for grabbing the basket - under FED rule 10-3-4.

Thanks for bringing that up - I tried to post it yesterday but my internet connection went out. Uh, yeah . . . that's it.
By my reading of the 'moving basket ring' BI rule, the basket moved - whether there's a spring or not, it's not stated.
Also, if your assignor doesn't want you to call BI, call the T.
