The play described below is provided for your review and discussion. The rulings given are based on NFHS rules. NCAA rulings may be different.
A-1 drives to the basket and attempts to score on a layup. A-1 is off balance and launches a try that enters the net from below and hits the bottom side of the ring. The ball then comes back out of the net.
Handle the situation.
This is a legal play. Entering the basket from below only becomes a violation if the ball passes through the basket. Since the ball never got above the ring, that did not happen. Play should continue without a whistle.
