It is not basket interference if the player touches the basket while the ball is in the cylinder. It is basket interference if the player touches the basket while the ball is touching the basket, or is in the basket.
It's one of the Most Misunderstood Basketball Rules: A player cannot touch the ball, ring, or net while the ball is on the ring or within the basket. A player cannot touch the ball if it is in the imaginary cylinder above the ring. These are examples of basket interference. It is legal to touch the ring or the net if the ball is above the ring and not touching the ring, even if the ball is in the imaginary cylinder above the ring.
