Did the officials make the right call here?

It wasn't basket interference, it was goaltending.
In NCAA, once the ball comes off the backboard and has a chance to go in, it's goaltending whether it's on it's way up or down. Similiar to the NBA rule.
I'm not sure the ball had a chance to go in after watching the replay but in real time, I would have called it too.
In the first half, Green was called for offensive BI because he attempted to rebound the ball when it was still in the cylinder.
Other calls: I thought the block/charge calls were pretty good.
I thought the call on the Henderson/Hansbrough rebound situation was wrong.
I would love to see what Jamie Luckey saw in the foul against Thompson on the missed FT. From the camera angle, I could understand the call but he had the opposite angle.
Overall, I thought it was one of the better officiated ACC games I've seen this year. And I've seen a few.
