As I said, I think you are taking a judgment call and trying to make a one size fits all application. If the ball is not in the cylinder, it is not BI. If you think it is in the cylinder (and certain things are present), then call a violation. You will find that at full speed you are not going to get a simple judgment based on a marking. If the ball hits the backboard does not mean it was touched at the very same spot.

I'm just intrigued by the geometry of it. Just to confirm, I'm talking about a pinned ball. Contacting the ball while it is in contact with the backboard.
I used to have a backboard and rim sitting in my garage. If i still had it I'd go roll a ball around on it and get some empirical knowledge. I am NOT willing to get a ladder out though.
