Had a throw in yesterday that hit the net....I let it go thinking that it was ok but it made me wonder cause I've not seen that in 8 years of officiating.

Really?

It's legal.

Yes...first time the inbound pass from baseline clipped the net in my 8 years of calling games.

Ahh...but what is the call if the throw-in had hit the rim, and landed in-bounds, instead of the net?

Ok, but what if the ball hit the rim, then touched the net (from the inside), continued through the basket, and landed in-bounds?

I actually see that happen many times during a game, don't you? (Except for the throw-in part...)
