NFHS question: What if a defensive player did this, but while the ball was on it's upward flight, outside of the cylinder?
I know that it's illegal for the ball to go through the basket from below, but what about a player's hand going through the basket from below on an otherwise legal blocked shot play (realizing that the play in the video may not have been legal).[/QUOTE]
I would think that going through the goal for a block attempt is illegal and regardless of the ball's status up or down during flight is irrelevant. I just read through the rule book and case book and haven't found anything but will continue to look.
