Ball Enters From Below

I've never had that. I have had the ball enter the basket from below, but not pass through.

Good question. It must enter and pass through. Does this mean the bottom of the ball breaks the plane of the cylinder, or does it mean the ball has to physically pass through and exit outside the rim?

I've never had this, either (seven years), nor have I seen it on TV. So according to Murphy, now that we're talking about it, it's going to happen in my game today.

The "basket" is the ring plus the net. (It used to be an actual definition in the book; now I think you need to look at some different rules). To "pass through" means the ball can't be touching either.

THe ball does not need to go outside the cylinder.

I believe that crosscountry55 is referring to the bottom of the upwardly moving ball breaking the horizontal plane defined by the basket ring.

A cylinder is one of the most basic curvilinear geometric shapes, the surface formed by the points at a fixed distance from a given line segment, the axis of the cylinder. The solid enclosed by this surface and by two planes perpendicular to the axis is also called a cylinder. (Wikipedia)
