next question. If the horn goes off and the ball is inside the basket and the defender was the one who tipped it, do we count it?

No the ball must have passed completely through the net in order for it to count by rule. I sure hope that never happens to me  !

Then, if the ball is tipped by the offense before the horn, and then gets caught in a *hung-up* net after, or during, the horn, then the basket does not count?

I do not have my rule book in front of me but I believe a field goal is scored when the ball (a) passes through or (b) remains in the basket.
So in the case it gets stuck it counts.
By extension I would count a basket once the ball enters it if the horn goes off on a non-try.

Sorry but this is wrong. Think about the Rip Hamilton dunk last year that hit him in the head and went right back up through the goal. The basket didn't count and play continued. It has to pass completely through meaning net and all to be counted as a basket.
