Ball Bounces Back Up Off of Net

I have seen this play in NBA bloopers. I think it was Barkley.

Sounds like something Canseco would have done.

The definition of basket:

1-10-1

Each basket shall consist of a single metal ring, 18 inches in inside diameter, its flange and braces, and a white-cord 12-mesh net, 15 to 18 inches in length, suspended from beneath the ring.
