In basket ball, what is it called when the ball touches only the net?

Question

i say rimless and my aunt says nuttin but net...

Answer 1

Many people call it something different. Now I hear more people say "Wet!" but it can also be called "swish!" or "nothin' but net". There should be some more slang words out there but these are the ones I mostly hear.

Answer 2

I usually say "nice pass, thanks" or point at the passer...:D

Answer 3

swish or nothin but net

Answer 4

If you're referring to when someone shoots the ball way off and it only touches the net, then there's no real name for it.

Air-ball seems a little overexaggerated. So I'd just say "didn't even touch rim".

Answer 5

airball

Answer 6

"swish" is usually what it's call but your aunt is right also.

Answer 7

Swish or nuthing but net

Answer 8

?nothing but net?

old school:   SWISH

Answer 9

All the other people are absolutely correct. Actually basketball terms have so many slang words to it, it doesn't really matter. In this case "swish is the def. you are looking for, but what you said and your aunt said are both correct.

hope this helps you
