The net is definitely part of the basket, so although you didn't know the rule, you were correct to penalize this act.

I understand that there rule isn't a rule called "the hanging on the rim rule"
I was under the impression that a site filled with veteran officials would understand what I was referring to, but in the future I will make sure my questions are more detailed and reference the correct rule.
