"Thinking" about what the answer might be before looking it up is a good thing. Just posting it here, not so much. imo anyway.

And, yes, sometimes you need to look in more than one spot in the book. That's where the paper version (as opposed to the electronic versions) comes in handy, I think. You'll often find other stuff that you didn't know when you are looking for an answer.

It's not a basket until the ball passes through the bottom of the net. If you're working NCAA, that's when the clock stops in the last minute of play.

As has been said before, the "remains in" is for when the bottom of the net is tangled such that the ball gets stuck in the net. Otherwise, you could have offensive players "finish" the shot by jamming a jump shot down once it has fallen partially into the basket.

Is there any written reference for that explanation? It is possible that a new net is too tight to let the ball pass immediately through. Years ago, we were instructed to check the nets, at least by watching the ball during warm-ups, to verify whether any difficulty might occur, because of a new net.

That is another possibility....basically something wrong with the basket so that i can't pass through.
