Which still means the ball can't go above the cylinder.

Wrong Cylinder ???
It does? Don't you mean a right cylinder?
A cylinder is one of the most basic curvilinear geometric shapes, the surface formed by the points at a fixed distance from a given straight line, the axis of the cylinder. The solid enclosed by this surface and by two planes perpendicular to the axis is called a cylinder. In common usage, a cylinder is taken to mean a finite section of a right circular cylinder with its ends closed to form two circular surfaces.

No, he doesn't. The "right" means that the "ends" of the finite section are perpendicular (at a "right angle") to the "sides".
In theory, a cylinder is analogous to a line -- it has no end points. As the rest of the quote shows, in practice, it's used as being analogous to a line segment. IIRC (I don't have the books with me) the rule on "passing through" doesn't mention the cylinder. The only rule that does has to do with BI (and it uses a pharase like "the cylinder, the bottom end of which is the rim." So, rather than JohnnyRingo asking, "the ball needs to leave the cylinder?," he should have asked, "the entire ball needs to enter the cylinder?" |

In summary: A cylinder has no "top", or "bottom" (the circular planes), so the "sides" go on infinitely, the center being a line. A right cylinder has a "top", and a "bottom", perpendicular to the "sides", is therefore finite, the center being a line segment, and volume, and surface area, can be defined, and measured. Our basketball cylinder, as described in basketball interference, has a bottom, the ring, but has no top, theoretically, the center being a ray, so it's not a true cylinder. Is is a right cylinder, with only a "bottom", and no "top"?

Yes -- and, for me, personally, I wouldn't split hairs here. I'd give the benefit of the doubt to "it went through the basket."

Technically not a right circular cylinder unless both ends are closed.

The FT not contacting the rim is another example of a violation that doesn't have a signal. I've seen many officials use the "swirly"/reset the shot clock signal, but it is not an approved signal.

It Would Be The "Funnest" Signal ...
I would love to see the NFHS make the "Swirly" an approved signal. Let's start a petition.
