Ball Bounces Back Up Off of Net

KCRef · #1 (**permalink**) Wed Jun 22, 2011, 08:11am

Last night I saw a ball go completely thru the rim, then bounce off the bottom of the net and come back up and out of the basket. I think there were some torn strands in the net, so it allowed this to happen. Do I count the basket? We did.

Rule 5.1.1 states: A goal is made when a live ball enters the basket from above and remains in or passes through.

Well, did it pass through?

Plus, see the definition of Basket (it used to be in the definitions section; now I think it's in the Equipment section)

This has happened numerous times in NCAA games which were televised. You can search the Internet for clips. The ruling hasn't changed.

I won't spoil what the first two respondents are trying to teach you by having you do the rules research yourself.

Here is a recent video from an NCAA game between Kansas and Kansas State for you: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQiRh...eature=related

Thank you for letting me try this on my own, but I had already looked and couldn't find anything conclusive.

grunewar: Yes, the ball "passed thru the basket", but then it went back thru on it's way up.

bob jenkins: Section 4 does not have a basket definition. Section 1 does, but it only talks about how the basket should look.

Nevadaref: The KU v KSU video referenced above shows what I am asking about, but it did not show what the ruling was, or if it was correct.

Does anyone have a newer electronic version of the rule book? I got the 2006 one from BktBallRef back then. I have all the newer ones in paper form from the NF, but really mostly use the electronic version.

Somewhere there's a statement to the effect that "the basket includes the ring, flange and net"

Did the ball really pass through the net in your play, or just through the ring?
