You got it correct. I had this same play earlier in the year. I let it go and play continued with some protest. There were a couple of other officials in the stands who said the ball was still on its way up and not over the cylinder. They then said they would have blown it dead and counted the bucket. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I asked my assigner what he thought. He said it is not goaltending but common sense officiating says to blow it dead and call it such. I disagree. I know I will take grief for it again, but I'm going with what I think is right and calling it a great play. IMO

So they know it isn't a violation, yet they are going to blow it as one.... I'm with you Bama, not following the logic on this one.
