Look at the flight of the ball after it leaves hands of the "shooter." There's no way that ball would hit just the net and travel back toward the shooter.

It not only went through the ring, it hit the back right side of the ring and caromed back in toward the players. If that ball had just hit the net, it would have continued traveling toward the end line.

Basket should have counted, and T and C both should have had a really good look at it, especially from their angles. Looks like two guys were asleep at the wheel at the same time.

I'm with you. It's obvious the ball went in. I've never seen a coach react the way the V coach does when an errant pass from one of his player's hits the bottom of the net and the other team recovers it.
