Toilet bowl

When the ball hits the rim on a certain angle and then circles around it. The shot can go in or out. Usually the ball will eventually fall in the basket. The farther out the shot usually the longer the ball circles around the rim. Sometimes announcers will refer to this type of shot that does not go in the basket as "that was half way down and then it popped out".
