Agree.
Neither the net grab, nor the ring touch, seems to happen when ball is on, or in, the basket (ring, net, or flange). It's in the cylinder above the basket when these two touches occur.
Only way either of these two touches can be NFHS basket interference (offensive or defensive) is if the
ball was touched while it was on, or in, the basket or above the basket in the cylinder. The ball was not touched under either of these conditions.
If the ball was on, or in, the basket, or above the basket in the cylinder, nether of these touches would be NFHS goaltending since NFHS goaltending only occurs when the ball is outside the imaginary cylinder (and other criteria).
A player cannot touch the ball, ring, or net while the ball is on the ring or within the basket. A player cannot touch the ball if it is in the imaginary cylinder above the ring. These are examples of basket interference. It is legal to touch the ring or the net if the ball is above the ring and not touching the ring, even if the ball is in the imaginary cylinder above the ring.
Goaltending is when a player touches the ball during a try, or tap, while it is in its downward flight, entirely above the basket ring level, outside the imaginary cylinder above the ring, and has the possibility of entering the basket.
