At 4:00 do we think the rule was correctly applied? Here is the exact wording from the rule book: "When: • A referee has blown his/her whistle while: ▬ The ball was in the hands of a player in the act of shooting, or ▬ The ball was in flight on a shot for a goal or on a last free throw, • The game clock signal has sounded for the end of the quarter or overtime, No player shall touch the ball after it has touched the ring while it still has the possibility to enter the basket. All restrictions related to goaltending and interference shall apply" The key here being WHILE IT STILL HAS THE POSSIBILITY TO ENTER THE BASKET. It seems clear with the IRS that the ball did not have chance to go in when touched?
You are correct, unless the ball is considered to be "within" the basket. If bouncing up in the air after hitting ring, fair play. But if any bit of the ball is within the basket then the defence cannot play it. If interested, check out FIBA Rule Interpretations article 31-24 for a diagram of this exact call.

Thank you for your effort making all these videos really helpful ❤
Thank you for the compliment. Enjoy :-)
why was first clip given a bucket ? I thought one can knock the ball away after it touches rim in Fiba Rules
