In basketball, what exactly do you consider to be a "brick"?

I’ve been playing basketball with a friend lately. He and I have a disagreement about the word “brick”.

I’ve always thought a shot is a brick if and only if it bounces off the inside of the back of the rim (the “back” being the part farthest away from the shooter). In this scenario, it looks like the ball is going to go in, but instead it bounces out, usually pretty dramatically.

My friend has always thought that a shot is a brick if and only if it bounces off the front of the rim. This is also an ugly way to miss a shot, so I can understand where he’s coming from, but I still think he’s wrong.

Wikipedia has proven unhelpful, providing a definition that describes a brick as a generally bad shot. We both agree that it’s more specific than that.

So what do you think? Am I right? Is he right? Are we both wrong? Don’t let me down, Fluther; I’m wearing the shirt today!
