Uh,Chuck,where did the above come from? We haven't been arguing about touching a live ball in the cylinder.Of course that's a normal,everyday BI call.The definition of the cylinder in the rulebook says that it has the basket ring as it's LOWER base(R4-6-2).We're talking about an oddball case where the basket ring is the UPPER limit-i.e.the ball is in the net below the ring when it,the net,or the ring is touched.At no time was the ball ever above the ring.Completely different scenario!
Weren't you trying to justify your position by using the language of R4-6-1(touch the ball or basket while the ball is within the basket)?
