Here is another situation

Okay, I just answered my own question. Rule 1-10-1 does say that the net is considered part of the basket, so I am wrong above and you could call a technical foul for grabbing the net. However, in the original post it still leaves basket interference as a possible call, which I would probably call.

Evry time I've seen a play where the defensive player grabs the net, BI is usally the call.

B-I is meaningless, since the ball went in. If the kid does a chin up, call a T. If he swipes the net, let it go. Anywhere in between takes judgment.


This has been your Blinding Flash of the Obvious (BFO) for the day.

Adam,
While what you are saying about BI is fine in terms of the effect upon the game, you know that it is not the rules book answer. If jonny is looking for that, then we need to tell him that the ball becomes dead when a BI violation is committed and whether the ball goes in or not doesn't matter. Points will either be awarded or cancelled according to the violation.

Until REFVA responds and tells us exactly where the ball was when the player grabbed the net, we can't say if BI should have been called or not.

Sorry for the delay guys, I was at the Big East development camp in Chantilly va,

Anyway. Basket goes in and defender does as if he is in the chin up Olympics. Hell yea he got a T. Matter of fact I spoke with some other officials last week. They said the same. BI, basket goes in, award basket, hit em with T.
