Another Basket Interference Thread

[SeanFitzRef]

Reading the OP again, the BALL was contacted by the player, not the net. Shouldn't we be looking at the situation that pertains to this play???

Rule 4.6.1 NFHS

Touches the ball or any part of the basket (including the net) while the ball is on or within either basket.

From the OP, the Ball was on the basket while it was touched. Sounds like the partner got it right.


NFHS
9.11.1 Situation A: A1 taps the ball toward Team A’s basket. While the ball is in the cylinder above the basket or on the basket ring: (a) B1 touches the ball; or (b) A2 touches the ball.
Ruling: In (a), basket interference by B1 causes the ball to become dead and the official shall award Team A two points. In (b), the basket interference by A2 causes the ball to become dead. No basket. The ball is awarded to Team B for a throw-in from the out-of-bounds spot nearest the violation. (4-6; 6-7-8)
