Nets (Not New Jersey)

[OHBBREF]

I am in agreement with MTD, - and myself since I am the original poster- that the nets are necessary to play the game. The net has to be there to cause the check up of the ball as confirmation that the ball passed through the ring.

NCAA Rule 4 section 4 Basket
Each basket consists of of an 18 ring, its flange and braces and appended net through which the player attempt to throw or tap the ball.

NFHS does not include the definition of a basket
however
FED 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.

Actually, they do, in 1-10: "Basket Size; Material".

You sound like a real basket case.
