Good points, but it still doesn't address Nevadaref's paradox of "if the ball would have been in the middle of the net when time expired and then gotten stuck there, the goal has to count, but if it continues through without issue, then it is required to have been all the way clear of the net before time expires in order to be a successful goal".

A few other odd plays regarding when the ball goes "into the basket":

After a basket, the net gets caught up on the rim, unnoticed by the officials. After the subsequent inbound, there is a quick turnover, the ball comes back the other way, and a player takes a long, high arcing, jump shot. Maybe due to the caught up net, or maybe for some other reason, the ball enters the top of the rim, dead center, but eventually rattles out. What do we have?

Same play, but the net isn't caught up. No basket. Right?

Once again. C'mon NFHS. Just what does "into the basket" really mean?
