I'd have to go with a jump ball.

If the ball gets stuck before passing all the way through, why would it be dead? It's still a live ball within the basket. If somebody touches it, it's gotta be BI. No?

Upon further review....
Chuck,this is what we are talking about. You are saying that if you touch a live ball within the basket while it's on the way up,but before it went through,you and Nevada would call BI. I'm telling you that if you're gonna call the language literally,the same definition for BI also includes touching a ball that is touching the basket. The net and ring are part of the basket also,by definition. Therefore,using your application of the rule,it also HAS to be BI if a player touches the ball while the ball is touching the net or rim,even if the ball is on the way up or being passed underneath the ring.Do you still agree with that?
