Hi twins. Welcome to the board. Because your new here, I'm turning off my normal sarcasm. (Don't tell anyone I've gone soft, tho!
). But here is something to file away: in HS and NCAA, touching the backboard, is
NEVER basket interference. It's not goaltending, either. Never.
Go to Rule 4 (Definitions) and look up basket interference. The definitions are very explicit and touching the backboard isn't in there. Never.
I don't mean to be demeaning, so I hope I haven't come across that way. (Remember, Never!!)
