No, it's not illegal to grab the goal while the ball is in the cylinder.

Even when the grabbing is not done to prevent an injury?

Speaking in the context of basket interference only.

Huh ?? [/B]

The conversation was about BI. Canuk said: "is it not just flat-out illegal to grab the "goal" (which includes rim, mesh and the flange) while the ball is in the cylinder?"
I was directly responding to the question of BI. The answer is not. It's not flat out illegal to grab the goal.
A T is a seperate issue and has no dependancy on the location of the ball and is not an automatic call simply based on grabbing the rim. [/B][/QUOTE]
Camron -- The original answer that you gave to the question was that "it's not illegal to grab the goal while the ball is in the cylinder." This is simply not true. To make the statement true, you should have said either, "It's not BI to grab the goal while the ball is in the cylinder" or "It's always illegal to grab the goal regardless of where the ball is." To say it's not illegal to grab the goal while the ball is in the cylinder is misleading.
