In other words, the outside part of the rim on the left side of the basket. When the ball hits the outside part of the rim on the left side of the basket, it caroms left (as you're facing the basket).
This sitch happened tonight in a varsity fall league game. Goaltending was called. The defensive player swatted the ball away almost simultaneously with the ball hitting the outside part of the rim.
Can a official judge that the ball is going to miss based on their judgment that they "think" the ball is going to barely touch the outside part of the rim and carom away?
Does the defender need to wait until it touches the rim and starts to carom away?
I think if he touches the ball simultaneous with it touching the rim, it's basket interference, correct? Having no chance to go in, is not relevant?
