For Men, Rule 9.15.3c

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 a possibility of entering the basket.

For Women, Rule 9.15.5

Art. 5. 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. In
such a case, it is goaltending when a player touches the ball.


It's usually going to be GT in the Men's game, but it still has to meet other criteria.

The ball in a men's game would have to be somewhere away from the basket to not be called. Usually, this is a quick 1-2 kind of action.

Or the ball contacts the backboard below the height of the rim.

I've been considering that since Scrapper1's earlier post.

Yes, it can happen, rarely on most backboards, but there is barely enough room for it to occur on some layups.

The ball has to be completely below the rim. If any part is above the GT rule applies. And that is almost impossible on a regulation backboard.

Agree for college men: "any part of the ball is above the rim".

Different wording for college women: "entire ball is above the level of the ring".

So could it (no goaltending because the ball contacts the backboard below the height of the rim) be possible in a college women's game?
