Pretty simple. Ball goes into the hoop and completely past the ring without interference of any kind. It then hits net and freakishly bounces backwards through the rim.
At what point is this considered a made goal? I'm sort of reading the rule, and it almost seems that it's considered a made goal when it either passes through or somehow gets stuck in the net. Is that right?
Section 33. Goal
Art. 1. A goal shall be made when:
a. A live ball that is not a throw-in enters the basket from above and
remains in or passes through; or
b. A free throw enters the basket from above and remains in or passes
through.
Art. 2. Whether the game clock is running or stopped shall have no influence
on the counting of a goal.

The ball must clear the net for it to be counted.
Art. 1. A goal shall be made when:
a. A live ball that is not a throw-in
enters the basket from above and remains in or
passes through
And the definition of the basket is:
Rule 4 Definitions, Section 4. Basket
Art. 1. Each basket consists of an 18-inch ring, its flange and braces, and
appended net through which players attempt to throw or tap the ball.
