Rut,
Isn't that what I said? Goal tending could not be called but Basket Interference could? Why are you saying this is wrong? BTW, the net may be touched while the ball is in the cylinder, but not while it is touching the rim.

I took your comment, "The ball may be goal tended" as wrong. The ball can never be goal tended, because goaltending would not apply. You can only goal tend a shot; this example is not a shot. That is really what I meant by you were wrong on this particular issue.

While what he said was stated poorly, it was technically correct. A player may tend the goal (legally) in this case. They may not be called for goaltending, however.

His last comment is true. The net or rim may be legally contacted while the ball is in the cylinder but not on the rim. The rim is NOT the same as the cylinder.
