If it didn't go all the way over the backboard it's still in play. Think of a field goal try in football that doesn't go all the way through the goalposts, and is therefore not good.

Although, that analogy doesn't totally work, as the Browns had a field goal try hit the support bar on the other side of the goalposts and bounce back, and was deemed no good. So although it initially went all the way through, it didn't count.

So... ???
