No, we can't. It doesn't exist.

And for reference, please DO NOT use the reference of what happened last night in the Gonzaga-Tennessee game -- that was blatant basket interference.

Did the Tennessee player touch the ball?
No.
Did the Tennessee player touch the basket while the ball was
ON or
WITHIN the BASKET?
No.
Do you understand that a player is allowed to touch the basket while the ball is in the imaginary cylinder above the basket?
No. 
Congratulations, it takes real effort to be so wrong twice in a single thread!
PS
I would welcome this newbie, but he likely won't be here long.
Unfortunately, we probably can't help him anyway. His beliefs seem to be quite firm. It's tough to teach someone the right way when his mind is closed and he is already SO committed to a misconception.
