So the answer is yes, it may be goal tended. Basket Interference may be called if ball is in the cylinder or on the rim just like any pass or shot attempt.

You just had three posters tell you that the answer was no, yet you still think the answer is yes? 
A try cannot be goaltended if it no longer has a chance to go in the basket. Since a try ends when it hits the floor, it's no longer possible to go in the basket or to have GT.

Bear with me. Yes, it still might have a chance to go in the basket. Here's the sitch: A1 bounces the ball toward the basket, maybe on a hard bounce pass that nobody catches. It bounces high, kisses the glass and is rolling on the rim. B1 jumps up and pulls the ball off the rim. Would you let B1 yank the ball off the rim because it wasn't a try, or would you call BI?
Here's a second sitch: same deal, high bounce, going toward the rim coming down. B1 taps it out of the air on the way down toward the basket. Goaltend?
I'd say yes to the BI but no the goaltend.

Yes, it has a chance to go in but it is NOT A TRY. Therefore, it cannot be GT.
BI is not GT and GT is not BI.
|
That's more or less my point, that in that situation you could call one but not the other.
