Just looked at dozens of internet images of backboards.
It would be very rare, but not totally impossible, for a layup to touch the backboard below the level of the ring and to then be also touched by a defender before it reaches the level of the ring.
It's not just a hypothetical question on a rules exam question.
Maybe a once in an officiating career real life game call.
Maybe we do need to get it clarified, maybe such a goaltend might not need to be above the level of the ring and still be illegal goaltending?
