I stand humbly corrected. I misunderstood when this was explained to me at USBL camp. And I obviously didn't go look it up after I got my explanation. Thanks, Drake. I will make sure I don't get that screwed up again.
Here's a question about the rule, tho. Why isn't it written the way you initially worded it?

It is NEVER allowed to hit the ball once it has hit the backboard.

If you can never touch a try after it hits the backboard, why split the rule into "touching above the ring" and "touching below the ring"? I'm just curious.
Thanks again for sending me back to the actual rulebook!!
