What?? Of course it does. When it comes back down, passes through the ring and out of the bottom of the net.

I guess I can see the point about not entering the basket from above (since it's already in the net when it gets above the ring), but it obviously passes through the ring and net on the way down.

It may pass through the ring on the way down, but you can't say it passed through the net. I came back out of the net on the same side it went in.
