Ahah, in Australia we refer to it as goaltending.
So what is the big deal with calling BI? I take it that it is fairly rare?

As Brian points out it's unheard of until the higher levels. I have been doing a LOT of 6th grade girls who don't get much play above the rim! But in anticipation of the play (not the call) I had been studying up on Goaltending and Basket Interference, JUST IN CASE. And it felt great to be right. This kid actually reached up through the basket and tipped the ball out of the cylinder, although I'm not sure that was his intention. But it was a great call, and it felt so good to explain it loudly to everyone, and then sell it, and to KNOW I was right!! You may guess that doesn't happen every day to me...
