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...)

I was actually picturing the ball entering the basket from the bottom. I have called this violation once in 20+ years.
