By Rule, 9-11-1
A player shall not commit basket interference. Basket interference occurs when a player:
ART 1...Touches the ball or basket, (including the net), when the ball is on or within either basket.

I have heard Coaches screaming for a basket interference call when an opposing player barely touches the net and the ball goes through the hoop. By rule, they could be right...by practice I don't see it called a whole lot.

Sooooo,
if you can have a BI call on a player touching the net...(which dosen't seem to effect the shot much)
Whatta ya got if:
A1 shoots a lay-up, B1 trys to block the shot. In doing so, B1 slaps the backboard (not intentional) while the ball is on the ring or in the cyclinder. The vibration clearly causes the ball to rattle off the ring. No basket.

I know we have talked about this before. I believe we got nuthin' unless it is intentional...but it dosen't seem right when the vibration clearly effected the shot.

I would like to see a BI called here...instead of a Technical...T seems to harsh, BI seems justified.

Comments?
