Wipe the basket

[Jurassic Referee]

1) If the player merely grasps the ring, but doesn't pull it down, or if the ring is the old-fashioned type which is not breakaway, I don't think that BI can rightly be called.

2) RULE 4 - SECTION 6 BASKET INTERFERENCE
Basket interference occurs when a player:
ART. 1 . . . Touches the ball or any part of the basket (including the net) while the ball is on or within either basket.

I'm not sure of the point you're trying to make here, but you're contradicting yourself anyway. If a player grasps the ring while the ball is on or in the basket, then BI sureashell can rightly be called under R4-6-1. The ring is part of the basket. You knew that.
