So there is never a case where the situation is both. But you never have to make the distinction because you always use the same signal.
Ok... BI, in one example, NF 4.6.3, is where the ball is outside the cylinder.. A player reaching up through the basket and making contact while the ball is outside the cylinder....
Now if there's contact NF 4.22.1a,b,c,& d, with the ball while the ball is outside the cylinder and on a downward slope this is goaltending....
