You obviously don't want to hear the, "It hit the backboard, that's goal tending," refrain from the coaches and fans, so you call it...wrong if you call 9 out of 10 a violation.
is right. i do understand the rule, i just disagree about where a layup first contacts the backboard...unless the munckins are playing a game in oz, most layups don't contact the backboard just above the pad...the ball contacts the backboard, goes up for an instant and then begins a downward flight.....once it begins that downward flight (regardless if it is in the cylinder) it is a goaltend - bi if it is within the cylinder..if it is a layup above rim level i assume it has a chance to go in...what did I miss? had one two weeks ago from C that the T agreed with 100%, but i suppose he was just worried about the fans and coaches or didn't understand the rule either..
