I agree. But it is not explicit on that point.
Exactly - it's not explicit.

Because it does not specify any certain types of "overhead equipment" it applies to all "overhead equipment."

If we treat this as the ball being lodged between one of the two 'official' backboards and rims, what's next? Does a team score two points if the ball goes through the hoop of a suspended basket? How will you figure out the 3-point line in 3-dimensional space?
