A1 shoots and while the ball is within the imaginary cylinder of the basket, B1 smacks the backboard, and i say this intentionally, not on the attempt to block the shot, but to prevent the ball from going in. how do u deal with this situation? is it a technical foul, and if it is, its charged to the player correct? i think i would assess a technical foul, not counting the basket. but what if the basket goes in? or is it just simply goaltending? if u could find a rule book reference that would be even of greater help. thank u, i appreciate it.
