just to make it confusing xD
Fiba 31.2.1 Goaltending occurs when a player touches the ball when it's completly above the level of the ring and
Is on is downward flight
has touched the backboard
...
In other words, in fiba this is goaltending^^ when the ball's touched the backboard, no touch!

But it sounds like it's only "no touch" if it has touched the backboard AND is on the way down. Is that right?

If so, then it could hit the backboard, continue up and be blocked and this would be legal.

Here is the rule verbatim fronm the FIBA rulebook. The way I read it, Crazy is correct, once it has touched the backboard it cannot be touched (like the NBA rule).


31.2 Rule
31.2.1 Goal tending occurs during a shot for a field goal when a player touches the ball
while it is completely above the level of the ring and:
• It is on its downward flight to the basket.
• After it has hit the backboard.

Who translated it into English for you? :rolleyes:
