Goaltending: Michigan v Purdue

Maybe it's the game clock. Now a possible offensive one at 17:19 of the 2nd half.

I don't believe that the entire ball is above the level of the ring when the C whistles for GT.

Both plays, same clip...

Thanks. I believe that both calls were missed. The first was an ICC and the second was an INC.

The first was not GT because the entire ball must be above the level of the rim to have GT.

The first was BI (not GT). It can't be GT because, in college, only the defense can commit GT and the ball was in the cylinder, so it was BI.

Incorrect on both accounts for the first play. The rule is as follows: When the ball contacts the backboard and any part of the ball is above the rim during a field goal attempt, it is considered to be on its downward flight. In such a case, it is goaltending when the ball is touched by a player as long as it has the possibility of entering the basket.

The only way you can argue no goaltending on this play is if you think there is no chance for the ball to enter the basket.

You are correct. It appears they changed the rule in the last couple of years and I missed that.

The prior rule said: "When the entire ball is above the level of the ring during a field-goal try and contacts the backboard, it is considered to be on its downward flight".

The current rule says: "When the ball contacts the backboard and any part of the ball is above the rim during a field goal attempt, it is considered to be on
its downward flight."
