Basket Interference Dunk ...

I moved this from another college thread because I wanted to set up a high school discussion.

Even if the defender already had his hand legally on the ball before it entered the cylinder?

NFHS 4-6: Basket interference occurs when a player:
ART. 1 Touches the ball or any part of the basket (including the net)
while the ball is on or within either basket.
ART. 2 Touches the ball while any part of the ball is within the
imaginary cylinder which has the basket ring as its lower base.
EXCEPTION: In Arts. 1 or 2, if a player has his/her hand legally in
contact with the ball, it is not a violation if such contact with the ball
continues after it enters the imaginary cylinder
or if in such action, the
player touches the basket. Dunking or stuffing is legal and is not basket
interference.
