Opinions Needed!
During a game which I officiated recently, defensive player slapped the backboard while the ball was on the rim.
My understanding of basket interference is that you can not touch the rim (or net) while the ball is on the rim. I therefore blew my whistle, and called a technical foul on the offender, as he did not touch the rim (or net).
I was told after the game I should have called basket interferance, awarded two points and forgotten about about the "T".
Do you all agree with the advice I received? I still think I did the right thing.
