    In the NBA, Rule 6.I.e.2. shows

    Ball entering basket from below

    As an infraction that awards the other team possesion of the ball. So if this happens and the referee blows the whistle to call it out or even indicates that this infraction occurred after the fact, then the ball was dead and so the ball falling back in the basket does not count for points.

      Same in NCAA and FIBA. The moment the ball enters the cylinder from below, it’s the same as going out of bounds. Play stops and the ball is awarded to the team that did not touch the ball last.

        Not really.

        I’m no basketball fan (not a sports fan at all), but imagine if this were permitted - you’d have a constant tussle under the basket, where all guys did was work on this technique.

        The rules change to address how players adapt.

          Just make the ball going up through the basket -1 point.

          And then let the other team throw the ball up through your basket to decrease your score. Now you have to defend your net as well as try to make shots on it.

    No it won’t be counted as it’s considered a ‘violation’. Ref will blow the whistle stating as such and the ball will be handed over to the defending team.

    RULE 9 - VIOLATIONS AND PENALTIES Section 6. Travel, Kick, Fist, Through Basket from Below A player shall not travel or run with the ball, intentionally kick it, strike it with the fist or cause it to pass through the basket and enter the cylinder from below.

      I have no idea of basketball rules. So if a player throws the ball upwards through the opponent’s hoop, they lose a point?

        Yeah but thats for both teams rings tho, they had to impliment it after Yao Ming kept standing under the ring and puting the ball up through the ring over and over during a game.

    I could be wrong but I seem to remember this is one of the reasons why the baskets have a net.

    You’re not allowed to do that but if the net wasn’t there then in pre-video games the refs might not be able to spot if the ball went up through the hoop.

    Think they were also to stop players reaching up through the hoop to defend as well.

    no.

    but if you throw it backwards through your own hoop…

    that should definitely take points off the other team, right? (/s. it has no robots and is therefore boring to me. Maybe if they added flame traps or, like, electrotraps. i dunno. that just seems sadistic.) (baseball needs the trap-makeover first, though. it’s only slightly better than golf.)
