I grant you that the ball is likely beyond the point within the net where it's making enough contact to still snap the ball back up - but if we're judging BI vs Basket, the ball is not beyond the entirety of the net, and is not clearly lost contact with the net either.

Suffice it to say, I'm not one to sit back right here and castigate the officials who gave this a no-call, me not being there in the heat of the game, in transition, officiating the defense on that play, there in front of the whole entire world watching either in the arena or on TV. Heck, I'da probably lapsed into the old "blond deer in the headlights" thing and just stood there thinking, "What the Wide World of Sports just happened?!"
However, thanks to this thread I'm more clear on the relevant rules than I was before I found it. Interesting comparison with the thread a week or so ago entitled something like, "Dunk Pops Out" or similar.
Good discussion.
