C'mon NFHS. Just what does "into the basket" really mean?

Don't we "know" that if the ball is 90% through, and gets batted back out, it's BI? Doesn't that mean that the ball must clear the net before the try counts?
I think for this discussion, we can ignore the "enters from above" part -- that's just there so the ball entering from below doesn't count. So, its a goal when the ball gets stuck, or passes through (not *is passing* through).
And, in NCAAW (and NY HS girls), the clock doesn't stop in the last minute until the ball celers the net -- so this situation is the same.
