Two nights ago our crew had a situation where a player slapped the backboard when he was trying to block a shot of the offensive guy. My question is this: If it was unintentional, do we leave it alone and play goes on? Also, if the slap vibrated the backboard and rim can you call a goaltend? Who is supposed to make the call, Trail or Center?

Unintentional=No call.
Intentional= T. T called by official responsible for shot. No goaltending or basket interference is called. |
unintentional slap (going for blocked shot) leave it alone...
can not call goaltending if they don't touch the ball... and trail or C can take care of it if it is a goal tending/basket interference situation |
Quote:
Remember, ball above the rim, downward flight, with a chance to go in. There is no mention of a backboard on a goaltend, the defender can block the shot AFTER it hits the backboard as long as none of the other 3 qualifications are there. |
The bottom line is you have to make a quick decision and not hesitate or seem to be uncertain. It is a bang-bang play and you and your crew must stick together.
