Don't be sorry. You didn't make the rule, but please would you show me the corresponding NFHS rule and how it is the same or different from the NBA rule?
Thanks.

Rule 5 Section 1 Art. 1- A goal is made when a live ball enters the basket from above and REMAINS IN or passes through.

I consider the net part of the goal and so if a player dunks the ball and it hits him in the head without clearing the net and go back up through the goal I would consider that as NOT remaining in the goal and just let play continue.
