Art. 2. Basket interference also occurs when a movable basket ring is pulled down by a player so that it contacts the ball before the ring returns to its original position.

...
Art. 3. When the violation is at a teams own basket, no points shall be scored and the ball shall be awarded to the offended team at a designated spot nearest to where the violation occurred.
