After seeing the video, I checked all the case plays and illustrations I could find and every one (except one) always described or showed the ball being on or above the rim in cylinder-type violations. I guess that lead me to the conclusion the entire ball had to be above the lower base of the cylinder. The exception came from an old NFHS simplified and illustrated book showing the ball (not touching the cylinder but slightly below the rim) being legally blocked. The final comment did say if the touching had occurred with the ball in or touching the cylinder, it would have been basket interference. So thanks, Camron, for your input and thanks to JRut for posting all these great highlights. They are really tremendous!
