Goaltending or not?
 

Player A shoots and B1 touches the ball on it way up. The ball contiues toward the basket when B2 touches it above the rim on its downward flight. The ball is not in the cylinder, but has a chance to go in. Goaltending or no goaltending and defend by rule.

It's goal tending. The try hasn't ended yet.

It is goaltending. The ball is above the rim, on its downward flight, and has a chance to go in. The touch by B1 does not affect the call, if that's what you are getting at.

I've got goaltending. The try hasn't ended.

The ruling is goaltending 4-22. Goaltending occurs when a player touches the ball during a field goal try or tap while it is in its downward flight entirely abbove the basket ring level and has the possibility of entering the basket in flight...

The touching by B1 is irrelevant... 4-41-4 the try ends when the throw is successful, when it is certain the throw is unsuccessful, when the thrown ball touches the floor or when the ball becomes dead.

What the heck is a State Mechanics Interpretor?
Per chance do you have responsibilities in the auto shop class too?

I presume the State Mechanics Interpreter is on the baseball side.

Jurassic Referee.
Nobody.

Now both Mike and I have our resumes posted.:)

Is Brentwood Brentwood High School the only Brentwood High School in Brentwood? :confused:

It's a good thing they don't have something like that in Walla Walla. It would be Walla Walla Walla Walla High School! :eek:

But if the high school was named Ting Tang in Walla Walla.....and Walla Walla was on the island of Bing Bang.....the high school would be Ting Tang Walla Walla Bing Bang.

They'd probably call their teams the Witch Doctors.

Ooo Eee, Ooo Ah Ah ...
 

I told the witch doctor I was in love with you
I told the witch doctor I was in love with you
And then the witch doctor, he told me what to do
He said that ....

Ooo eee, ooo ah ah ting tang
Walla walla, bing bang
Ooo eee, ooo ah ah ting tang
Walla walla, bing bang...
Ooo eee, ooo ah ah ting tang
Walla walla, bing bang
Ooo eee, ooo ah ah ting tang
Walla walla, bing bang

You'll always be "somebody" to us JR! ;)

Goaltendning, it's still an attempt for a goal
How about this one
A1 shoots for 3 points
B1 (who is in the 2 point area) touches the ball
basket is good
2 or 3 points?

3

This is 3 points IAW Case 5.2.1, Sit C (b)
