Rule 5.1.1 " A goal is made when a live ball enters the basket from above and REMAINS IN or passes through."

A basket is defined as the ring, net, flange and braces collectively. What do you suggest we call it, other than the "basket" or the seemingly more modern "ring, net, flange and braces collectively"? As for 5-1-1, the ball can remain in the ring-net-flange-and-braces-collectively quite easily without breaking any rules or laws of physics.
