Goaltending

[JRutledge]

Are you talking about Basket Interference or Goaltending?

I just looked at the 13-14 Rules book and the 14-15 Rules book and the wording is practically the same in GT. The only thing they did was change a slight grammar change taking out "and" and putting a comma between "basket ring level, has...." instead of "basket ring level and has...."

I see absolutely no wording changes in the BI definition.

I could be wrong, but how old of a rulebook are you looking back into?

Jeff,

I'm talking about the 15-16 book. (I just got mine today, because my New Applicants' class starts Wednesday.) The definition of Goaltending now reads:

"Goaltending occurs when a player touches the ball during a field-goal try or tap while the ball is in its downward flight entirely above the basket ring level, has the possibility of entering the basket in flight and is not touching the basket cylinder or a player touches the ball outside the cylinder during a free-throw attempt".

The parts highlighted in red have been changed from the 14-15 book. Obviously changing "it" to "the ball" or adding a comma are unimportant. But I like that they've added the part about not touching the basket cylinder.

Well, that answers my question in the other thread . . .
