That sounds like a dumb question, and I opened the thread to see the responses. You actually have a valid point, because rims do play a big factor in some situations. I was a gunslinger, and could give a list of the gyms that I felt were great shooting gyms. And playing on Illinois State's gym in high school, I could see that they had an advantage, because those rims sucked, and you had to swish it to make it. They changed them after that year, and the next year they were like normal, average rims. So your point has validity, and any ex-baller would agree. But there are not many places with bad, tight rims, and it's not possible to cap, imo.
