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.

I agree that it's GT and not BI, my point is that you are reading into the question that the ball isn't above the cylinder where i could (i'm not) read into the question that the ball is above the cylinder. The writer doesn't specify is the ball is directly above(with in the cylinder) the rim or not.
Just trying to brighten up a very dull subject matter.
keep smiling
