A useful example
A rising crossing does not score until a downward entry occurs. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Notice the change in the playing area.
Watch out for this
Backboard contact alone is not a basket. Check the rule before repeating the action. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
