Yes, it's not a valid solution to the game of basketball, but it is a valid solution to the "get a ball in a hoop" game.

I don't think the Kobayashi Maru test rules said anything about "don't try to break the game". Success can result from relaxing an irrelevant requirement.

It's not irrelevant if it's the difference between winning and losing. Since you're already rewriting the scenario, why not just declare yourself the winner from the start? It would save a lot of effort.
