I still can't believe this happened... but here goes.

Team A on baseline under their basket for a throw in.
Throw in pass deflects off the bottom of the backboard, then passes through the underside of the hoop.

My partner and I conference, he feels violation on A for not passing directly into the court. I agree, violation on A because ball passed thruogh the ring from other side.

Anyone have a clarification for me?

Two different violations going on here. I guess the ball not touching the floor or a player supercedes going through the bottom of the basket.

I have tried, but I just cannot visualize this happening.

I saw it and still don't believe it!!
 

Brian, The bottom of the backboard is in bounds? Can never remember. If so The ball is now goes through the hoop from underneath. Violatin on team A for ball passing through from underneath??

Re: I saw it and still don't believe it!!
 

If the ball hits the back of the backboard, it's a violation. But never when it hits the sides, top or bottom.

Suppref,
Go with 9.4.Play; A caused ball to enter from below.
Violation A, Throw-in to B.

I agree with Mick! If ball glanced off bottom and went throught he rim, it COULDN'T have hit the BACK of the backboard...just the BOTTOM.

For some reason I thought it had to touch the floor or a player first. But I was wrong.

I suppose you could use 9-2-7, the ball cannot enter the basket before touching a player. I know the guys at the NFHS meant from above the basket, but there is nothing specifying as such.
