But how do you know that's the intent? A couple people earlier in the thread tried to say that the intent was to prevent interference with a try. Now you say it's to prevent interference anytime a basket might be scored. Maybe the intent is simply to make the cylinder and basket sacrosanct.
How about the intent is to penalize a team that interferes with the ball when there's a possibility that there could be a GOAL,Chuck?

R5-1-1--"A goal is made when a live ball enters the basket from ABOVE and remains in or passes through".

Impossible to score a goal from below,isn't it?
