So if I read that right, a layup where the ball hits the backboard at least partially below the ring on its way up would not meet the criteria for this rule. In that case I'm guessing we're back to judging entirely based on the flight of the ball.
Am I missing something?

You're not missing anything bits. It is horrible wording for the rule. Very ambiguous and makes it almost impossible to interpret! The NCAA is attempting to adopt the NBA rule but not adopt it if that makes sense?
They are attempting to reword it so its not exactly like the pro wording instead of just adopting the rule word for word and making it easier on everyone.
