TRUE. This is directly from the BI definition ("any part of the basket") in 4-6-1. "


Not sure about that answer!

Unless i'm reading the rule incorrectly (which may be possible), the answer to the above question is

FALSE.

read the question, "...violation to touch the net while the ball is in the imaginary cylinder above the ring."

Rule 10-11 and rule 4-6 states:

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.

Art. 2...Touches the ball when it is touching the cylinder having the ring as its lower base.

Reading the question...the test makers are combining Art. 1 and Art. 2. In the question the ball is not "on or within the basket," when the player touches the net AND in the question, the player DID NOT touch the ball "when it is touching the cylinder."

Anyone else care to help out with this?

Thanks,
jake
