Got this one wrong. I should have listened to SC Official.

After an official disallows a goal for a basket interference violation, he/she shall report the cancelled goal to the scorer from within the designated reporting area.

If I saw an official jog to the report area to report BI like he's reporting a foul, I would probably choke on my whistle from laughing.

In a real game, as the trail, I would take a few steps toward (not necessarily all the way into) the reporting area (to an open area) to allow or disallow a basket for basket interference or goaltending.

To defend my incorrect answer, one would think that allowing or disallowing a basket for basket interference or goaltending would fall under the category of "etc." to enhance communication and to avoid errors and mistakes ... foul, time-out, warning, etc.

Allowing or disallowing a basket seems like pretty important information to communicate(e) ... to avoid errors and mistakes.
