    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.

        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.
