Big guy goes for a one handed dunk and the ball is in the cylander with his hand on it and ball touching the ring.As he is coming down he somehow pulls the ball back with him.
He returns with the ball to the floor.
His hand never left the ball.

You know, if you called basket interference on this play, there would be no discussion about whether or not it is a travel.
In the orginal sitch, the ball was in the cylinder, even on the rim, and then removed from the cylinder by the player. Basket interference does not take into consideration how the ball got into the cylinder, only that it did.
4-6-2 Basket interference occurs when a player touches the ball while any part of the ball is within the imaginary cylinder which has the ring as its lower base.
