Good answer. Now let's change it up a little. Middle of the period, so no horn is involved.

Passed ball hits A-1 in the head and deflects toward A-1's basket. The ball is on the ring when it is touched by B-1. Official calls basket interference, and awards the goal. Is the official correct?

For extra credit:

Passed ball hits A-1 in the head and deflects toward A-1's basket. The ball is on it's downward flight, above the level of the basket, outside the cylinder, has a good chance of going in, and the ball is touched by B-1. Official calls goaltending, and awards the goal. Is the official correct?
