Dr.C,
The statement says, "A1's try is partially blocked by B3. The ball is on its downward flight above the rim with a chance to enter the basket when B1 bats the ball out of bounds."

4-22-1
Goaltending occurs when a player touches the ball during a field-goal try or tap while:
a. The ball is in downward flight.
"The ball is in it's downward flight..."

b. The entire ball is above the level of the basket ring.
"...above the rim..."

c. The ball has a possibility of entering the basket in flight.
"...with a chance to enter the basket..."

d. The ball is not touching an imaginary cylinder which has the basket ring as its lower base.
It doesn't say the ball is in the imaginary cylinder. Therefore, we can't assume that it is.

This is GT, not BI.
