Great. Just what high school basketball officials need.
If it wasn’t bad enough already, now we’ll have millions of high school players, coaches, and fans thinking that some type of advantage or disadvantage is needed to rule basket interference, or goaltending.
Draymond Green: "My perspective was that my hand touched the rim, because I was going — it looked like the ball was about to pop out — so I was going to get a putback. When I jumped to get the putback, Giddey went back into my legs so it kinda brought my hand down and hit the rim. But hitting the rim is not a goaltend. I didn't affect the shot and we won. I also saw Giddey had pulled the net as well, so there was some confusion.
"Che (official Che Flores) had said if he touched the net and it didn't affect the ball, it's not a goaltend. And she said if I touched the rim and it didn't affect the ball, it wasn't a goaltend. I knew I didn't affect the ball, so I thought it was good."
Crew chief Mitchell Ervin explained the decision after the game to a pool reporter, stating Green's touching of the rim did not cause the ball to take an unnatural bounce: "It was clear and conclusive evidence that Draymond does not touch the ball. Although Draymond does touch the rim, he does not touch the ball, nor does him touching the rim cause the ball to take an unnatural bounce therefore a basketball violation does not occur on the play."
