I understand where you are going with this, but by this conclusion, a ball that goes nearly half way in but rattles out (think of a long jump shot) would have to count since the ball was "in the midst of" the ring. That certainly isn't the intent of the rule.

For me, until it is better defined, I'll stick with the first definition of through.
