freekin rulesWhy doesn't it count as a basket in basketball when the ball gets wedged between the rim and the backboard. Just because that is the rule. It has to go through the hoop. It is the same in disc golf. That is just the rule. If they changed the rule, they are just making it that much easier to hole out. If you get your disc on top of the basket, it is not because you did it intentionally and shouldn't count as holing out.
