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.

Again, there are two possibilities by rule: passing through or remaining in. Neither occured in the situation you mentioned where if it strikes a player's head and comes back out. In NF a ball that goes in the basket and comes back out is not a goal. However, since the basket will count if the ball remains in, then I will count the goal as soon as the ball enters and will not wait until after it completely passes through (so long as it does not come back out.)
[Mind you I do not think I can really distinguish between a ball in the basket and having passed through anyway!]
