Pass hits Rim

Basketball Rules Fundamentals
19. A ball which touches the front face or edges of the backboard is treated
the same as touching the floor inbounds, except that when the ball touches
the thrower’s backboard, it does not constitute a part of a dribble.

Rim? An oversight by the NFHS?

Or intentionally and deviously done to drive us all nuts?



It's the NFHS, I think we all know the answer.

On the other hand we occasionally see a passed ball touching the basket net.

Most of us would probably just think, "Play on", not give it a second thought, and certainly never consider it to be a dribble.

So maybe the NFHS was right (I just almost vomited into my own mouth) in having the Rules Fundamental only specify the backboard?
