Frankly, I'm surprised they even replayed the match. There's nothing in the rules covering what happens if the goals jam and if a team should be credited for all the balls past the rim or what. I could easily see the ruling coming down on the side of "If you lose some balls, oh well. Try to shoot slower next time."

Actually, the ball just has to pass through the hoop.

[G39]
During Hybrid, an additional 3 point bonus will be added for each Basketball that passes completely through any Hoop.

In this case, three or four of the five balls lodged in the net had passed through the hoop. (The Number is debatable depending on your vantage point, I was immediately behind the red drivers station so this is the view that I'm most familiar with) They Technically should have counted in the Hybrid Period According to G39, but would not have since they would've passed through the counter during the teleop period.
As far as replaying the match, I believe it was the right call to make since the match continued on for at least 30 seconds with a clogged 3pt Hoop, severely handicapping the blue alliance.
