In tonight's boys varsity game, white had a 8 point lead with the ball and approximately 3 minutes to go. I'm at trail. They shoot. The ball careems to the left where it is rebounded by another player on the white team. A third player on the white team jumps about this time to dunk the rebound in case it comes to him. The ball is clearly long gone. So instead, he dunks air and grabs the rim on his way down. C passes but I whistle. I give a T for grasping the rim with no chance for a play on the ball. The coach of the white team begs for a goaltending call. After the game, the C and I talk. C wonders if I made the best call for game management and if I could have gotten by with a goal tending call. I don't think so because the ball was clearly gone and to me, he clearly grabbed the rim and pulled it down.
I'm just wondering if I handled this correctly or if I should have done something different. Thanks for any advice.
