Botched Dunk or Basket Interference

[Ref24]

Player goes up for dunk attempt and misses. In the process he has slightly pulled the rim down and as it comes back to it's normal position it hits the ball. The ball then goes high off the backboard and in the basket. Good basket or 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.
ART. 2 . . . Touches the ball while any part of the ball is within the imaginary
cylinder which has the basket ring as its lower base.
Rule 4-7 2011-12 NFHS Basketball Rules Page 28
EXCEPTION: In Arts. 1 or 2, if a player has his/her hand legally in contact with the ball, it
is not a violation if such contact with the ball continues after it enters a basket cylinder
or if in such action, the player touches the basket. Dunking or stuffing is legal and is not
basket interference.
ART. 3 . . . Touches the ball outside the cylinder while reaching through the
basket from below.
ART. 4 . . . Pulls down a movable ring so that it contacts the ball before the
ring returns to its original position.
